Alexandra Park Race 4

Woodlands Stud Silk Rd Nrthrn Series Ht5 Mbl Pce

Stake: $15,000

COURTNEY ROSE (2) started a hot favourite last time but found trouble and finished midfield. The prior form was strong, winning her previous two outings to continue a string of top-three finishes. She is two from two at this distance and can bounce back from a good draw. WICKED WANDA (5) found form at the latest appearance when she scored over 1609m at this venue. Gets the same draw and rates as a leading hope. MHAI SURFER GIRL (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a player after a good effort last time out when second at this venue. WHAT A MINX (6) is the next elect off a last-start win.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Mantra Blue at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on September 13 at $12.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Wicked Wanda at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 27 at $5.10. Winning chance.
