Alexandra Park Race 7

FRANKLIN VETS - HERE FOR THE HORSE MOBILE PACE

Stake: $15,000

TYTATE (3) made it two on the trot last start when she got the cash by 6 metres over 2200m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and she can grab another win. SECRETS ABOUND (5) made it two wins from his last five outings two weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 metres over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. BROOKSIDE GIRL (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.75 metres at this track over 1700m. BENJAMIN BUTTON (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 2200m.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr4) over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 25 m by Joes Rock (3:19.90) in 3yo+ on July 24 at $50.50. Before that 6th (Fr7) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 9 m by Kings Watch (2:44.00) on July 17 at $35.70. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
