Alexandra Park Race 6

TAB - NORTHERN METRO TROTTERS FINAL HANDICAP TROT

Stake: $35,000

YOUNEVERKNOW (5) has returned in terrific order, winning both starts off a spell to take his record at this circuit and distance to four wins and three placing from eight attempts. Goes back another 10m in the handicap but should be at his best third-up so can land the hat trick. HIGHER POWER (8) is another that is two from two at this venue and distance so far this campaign. Came from the front mark in both of those so cops a tougher handicap but winning form is hard to knock. ILLICIT LOVE (3) showed good improvement when runner-up last week and can progress further third-up. PRETTY IN PINK (1) deserves respect having put together a string of placings since winning from a big handicap.
