Alexandra Park Race 8

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MRS MOONEY MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

The winning run of SPIRITUAL BLISS (5) came to an end last start when she drew on the back row and finished fifth in a higher-graded race at Cambridge. Had won four in a row prior, once of them at this circuit and distance. Can return to the winners' list. IRON BRIGADE (6) has been competitive with top-four finishes in all of his starts this time in and kept the ball rolling last time when second at Cambridge. Could break through. THE JOLLY ROGER (2) came from the back row and didn't miss by much when runner-up here last time. Draws for another strong showing. DOO YOU WANT ME (3) gets a good draw for his first outing in ten months. Keep him safe..
