Alexandra Park Race 7

QUIZ NIGHT EVERY WEDNESDAY AT THE ALEX MOBILE PACE

Stake: $15,000

CAPTAIN MOONLIGHT (6) failed to flatter at the first run back from a break last start when eighth, beaten 40 metres, over 2200m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. THE RASCAL (4) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 2200m at this track, beaten 10 metres. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the sound recent efforts. CALORIEFREE (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 2200m. Must be included. BETTOR BE A LEGEND (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2200m at this track.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr5) over 2200m at this track beaten 25 m by Tytate (2:41.80) in 3yo+ on July 11 at $17.50. Not keen.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth behind Big Herb at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 4 at $5.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Tytate at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 11 at $2.30. Nice effort last time. One of the main contenders.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Mick Konstantin at this track over 2200m in a 2yo+ on June 20 at $22.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Tytate at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 11 at $6.40. Has the ability to figure prominently.
