Alexandra Park Race 5

IRT NZ SIRES STAKES 3YO TROTTERS CHAMPIONSHIP MOB TROT

Stake: $120,000

MEANT TO BE (10) stretched his winning run to seven with another feature win in the Northern Derby at this circuit last start. The margin wasn't huge but he knows how to get the job done and should be near peak fitness third-up. The one to beat. HIGHER POWER (2) is getting closer to toppling MEANT TO BE having chased him as runner-up in their last three clashes, missing by just a neck in the Northern Derby. Races well third-up and a good draw gives him best chance yet to turn the tables. HABIBTI PAT (6) was a beaten favourite when third against her own sex in the Northern Oaks last week but came from a tough barrier for third to the top two selections in the Derby prior. Go well. YA RITE DARL (9) can feature again after beating HABIBTI PAT home as runner-up last week while FRAZZLED (7) draws wider but deserves respect of her Oaks win.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr6) over 2200m at this track well beaten by Meant To Be (2:45.50) in 3yo on April 11 at $37.50. Needs to lift.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Meant To Be at this track over 2200m in a 3yo on April 11 at $4.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Meant To Be at this track over 2700m in a 3yo on April 25 at $4.60. Racing well and could break through.

Well beaten last start by Meant To Be, a rival who he faces again; when 35 metres seventh at this track over 2700m in a 3yo race on April 25. Unlikely to threaten.

Two back was beaten by 10 m finishing fourth behind Meant To Be at this track over 2700m in a 3yo on April 25 at $7.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Frazzled at this track over 2200m in a 3yo F on May 2 at $4.10. Nice effort last time. One of the chances.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Racing up the wins. Won by a neck as favourite (U1) at this track (3:24.90) beating Higher Power in 3yo on April 25 at $1.80. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win (FrU2) at this track (2:45.50) beating Higher Power in 3yo on April 11 at $2. Smart gelding who can add to the winning streak.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
