Alexandra Park Race 9

ATC SUPPORTS BLUE SEPTEMBER MOBILE PACE

Stake: $15,000

MIKI DOO (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 1.5 metres at this track over 2200m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of a big performance. SEASIDE BOSS (4) resumes here after closing his last prep with a sixth at this track on May 3 2024. Capable of playing a major role fresh-up so has to be respected. THE NIGHT AGENT (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2200m at this track last time out. BALLYSPELLANE (2) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 2000m at Addington three-and-a-half months ago. Second of eight in a recent trial and can place.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m fourth behind Tyson at this track over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth again at this track over 1609m in 2yo+ on September 27. Expect a much better run this time.

Resuming after 16 months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth behind Cyclone Jordy at this track over 1700m in a 2yo on May 3 2024 at $43.10. Looks very hard to beat while fresh.

Last start 5th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track beaten 6 m by Tyson (2:41.50) in 3yo+ on August 29 at $2.20. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 2200m at this track, beaten a neck by The Rascal (2:46.60) in 3yo+ on August 15 at $1.40. Deserves another chance.
