Alexandra Park Race 7

THAI NIGHT 29 AUG AT ALEX PARK MOBILE PACE

Stake: $15,000

TYTATE (4) was rewarded for her ultra consistent form with a breakthrough win at this circuit and distance last time. Came from a couple of spots wider on that occasion and did it in dominant fashion so she may be ready to work through her grades now. PRINCESS LISA (1) has been close-up in her two outings since a win at this venue. Didn't miss by much when runner-up last week and the ace draw could see her go one better. ALWAYS B MAGIC (2) has been racing well from wider barriers including a win here two back. Player from the low draw. SADHAKA (3) has had some tough draws since a resuming second and will be at peak fitness.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Tyson at this track over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fifth again at this track same class on July 4. Draws the inside and another bold showing is expected.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 m by Big Herb (2:43.20) in 3yo+ on July 4 at $10. Showed ability the race before when she won by a neck as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:44.00) beating Big Herb in 3yo+ on June 6 at $2.50. Drawn favourably and that gives her winning claims.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 2200m at this track, beaten 6 m by Big Herb (2:43.20) in 3yo+ on July 4 at $18.50. At the run before 4th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 6 m by Clouding Over (2:42.70) in 3yo+ on June 20 at $3.40. Building in fitness and is nicely drawn this time and so can show more.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:41.80) beating The Rascal in 3yo+ on July 11 at $2.40. Could go on with it now that she has broken through.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
