Alexandra Park Race 8

DUNSTAN SPEEDFEED JUNIOR DRIVERS MOB PACE

Stake: $15,000

DOUBLE PARKED (3) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 2200m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. MELODY BANNER (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1700m at this track. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. LOUEZYANA (5) is worth thought after finishing fifth first-up over 1700m at this track last time out. MESSENGER BUOY (2) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 2200m.
