Alexandra Park Race 7

IRT NZ SIRES STAKES 3YO TROTTERS PRELUDE 2 MOBILE TROT

Stake: $25,000

HABIBTI PAT (7) last appeared when successful over 1980m at Addington on 29/11/2024, capping off a fine prep that saw her salute on five occasions. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Will have plenty of admirers. TYRONS STRAPPING LAD (5) went well to finish second two starts ago then recorded an effortless victory last start, scoring by 15 metres over 1980m at Addington. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of making it consecutive wins. OCEAN EYES (3) ended last prep with a second at this track over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. FRAZZLED (4) is next best following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Addington two weeks ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Waterloo Station at Addington over 1980m in a 3yo on March 28 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Forgiveness at Addington over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 4 at $3.50. In fine form. In the mix with further improvement to come on the latest run.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Addington (2:33.10) beating Zsazsa Binx in 2yo+ on August 16 at $2.80. Tricky draw to overcome but should go well.
