Alexandra Park Race 9

BOSCH HOME APPLIANCES TROT

Stake: $15,000

KISSMEILOVEYOU (6) is improving with racing and looks close to a win after back-to-back placings at this circuit. Draws wider but should be hitting peak fitness now. Can break through. YOUNEVERKNOW (7) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign with a second at this venue behind a subsequent multiple Group 1 winner. Draws wide but is likely to have developed with maturity. Will have plenty of admirers. HAPPY HILL (2) hasn't raced for five months but placed the last time he was fresh and draws for a good showing. SAXON REIGNS (9) resumes for a new yard. Was still learning when seen previously but looks to have some ability. Keep safe.
