Alexandra Park Race 8

H R FISKEN & SONS ANZAC CUP HANDICAP TROT

Prize Money: -

MUSCLE MOUNTAIN (13) is a reliable trotter who added to a long string of top-four finishes when he returned to the winners' list in the Lyell Creek Stakes last time. That took his record at this circuit and distance to three from three. Big chance to maintain that perfect record. Manners let OSCAR BONAVENA (12) down last start but he was racing in fine form prior including a win over several of tonight's rivals in the Waikato Flying Mile two back. If he gets it right he has the class to win. QUEEN ELIDA (9) has performed well as runner-up in her two starts since crossing the Tasman. Quality mare who can make an again. MIGHTY LOGAN (3) will be fitter for the resuming placing when off a 30m handicap. Draws well so can be competitive.

Last start 3rd (30m 3) over 2200m at this track, beaten 30 m by High Energy (2:46.00) on April 19 at $8.50. Two runs back 10th (30m 1) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 25 m by Courmayeur (2:46.30) in 3yo+ on March 28 at $5.70. Not keen.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2200m at this track, beaten 4 m by Muscle Mountain (2:44.10) on April 11 at $12.60. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Addington (2:26.10) beating Sunnys Sister in on April 4 at $1.70. Consider for exotics.

Well beaten last start by Bet N Win, a rival who he faces again; when 16 metres seventh at Addington over 2600m in a race on March 14. Could sneak into the first four.

Last start broke and was well beaten into sixth behind Arcee Phoenix at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m on April 4 at $3.90. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 6 m win (Fr5) at Cambridge Raceway (1:55.70) beating Not As Promised in on March 28 at $4. With manners he is a big chance to return to the winners' list.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start scored a big 4 m win (Fr6) at this track (2:44.10) beating Queen Elida in on April 11 at $2.10. Great chance to make it two in a row.
