Alexandra Park Race 2

Lather Up @ Woodlands Tender Closes 1/11 Mbl Pce

Stake: $17,000

HAWKEYE PIERCE (7) is racing well with three nice efforts since a win at this circuit and distance, last time coming from this same barrier for a close second here. Rarely out of the money here and looks tough to stop. ROUGH AND READY (6) was a Cambridge winner four back and registered another strong performance there last start when he battled on for third. Going well enough to play a major role. BAZOOKA (4) is lightly raced but has shown some ability including a win here three back. Solid last week so can feature. HEZASWEETIE (3) is race fit now and gets the best draw of his campaign so can improve.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Sr2) over 2200m at this track, beaten 9 m by Sugar Ray Lincoln (2:40.70) in 2yo+ on October 4 at $25.50. Before that 6th (Fr5) over 2200m at this track, beaten 10 m by Frisco Bay (2:41.50) in 3yo+ on September 21 at $7.80. This looks too tough and others appear better placed.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.1 m second behind Sugar Ray Lincoln at this track over 2200m 2yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second again at this track in 3yo+ on September 21. Can give a good account.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Jeremiah at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on September 21 at $9.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Red Rackham at Cambridge Raceway over 1700m in a 2yo+ on October 1 at $3.10. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Freshened-up since the last run 35 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.1 m second behind Always B Elite at this track over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track same class on August 30. Going well and has strong claims.
