Alexandra Park Race 1

THE ALEX BAR & EATERY MOBILE PACE

Stake: $20,000

MANTRA BLUE (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 8 metres at this track over 2700m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force. TREACHEROUS BABY (4) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last time when she finished sixth over 1980m at Addington, beaten 20 metres. Finds a nice race and can improve sharply. SEACLUSION (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1700m at this track. ROUGH AND READY (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth of 10 over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway on May 15.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind General Jen at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on May 2 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Greased Lightnin at this track over 1700m in a 3yo+ on May 16 at $5.70. Hard to beat.

Last start 8th (15m 2) over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 30 m by The Surfer (3:24.60) on May 15 at $13.10. Two runs back won by 1.4 m (10m 1) at Manawatu (3:13.70) beating Rough And Ready in on May 1 at $6.30. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 5th (15m U2) over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 16 m by The Surfer (3:24.60) on May 15 at $11.10. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (20m U1) over 2500m at Manawatu beaten 1.4 m by Leo Lincoln (3:13.70) on May 1 at $4.80. Solid top-three hope.
