Alexandra Park Race 2

DUNSTAN SPEEDFEED - NORTHERN METRO PACERS HT 1 - MOB PACE

Prize Money: -

PRINCESS GRACY (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1700m, beaten 6 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. THE NIGHT AGENT (7) has drawn wide in recent runs. Was responsible for a game effort last time out when successful by 7 metres over 2000m at Hawera. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. LITTLE LILY (4) is the next best after finishing third over 2200m at this track last time out. WALTZING WITH MIKI (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway on February 4.
