Alexandra Park Race 6

WOODLANDS STUD - HERE FOR THE HORSE HANDICAP TROT

Stake: $20,000

CASTANA (3) scored a decisive win last time out over 2200m at this track, getting home by 13 metres in a dominant display. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. SHESGOLD (1) finished second at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at her latest appearance over 2700m at this track, beaten 7 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. MATTY A (10) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2700m at this track. No reason the run cannot continue. BELLE NEIGE (7) could only manage seventh when resuming over 2200m at this track last start. Can do better.

Last start 7th (10m 3) over 2200m at this track well beaten by Matty A (2:47.80) on July 11 at $7.10. Two runs back 8th (20m 4) over 2700m at this track, beaten 45 m by American Muscle (3:26.40) in FM on February 28 at $2.40. Will come on from that run and is a strong top-three hope.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (45m 1) at this track (3:28.60) beating Bolt For The Hill in on July 25 at $2. Very hard to beat.
