Alexandra Park Race 9

CLASSIQUE LANDSCAPERS AUTUMN MARES SPRINT MOB PACE

Prize Money: -

FRANCENT (6) led from this same barrier and dictated when returning to the winners' list in her latest outing at Cambridge. Well placed returning to a circuit where she has recorded two wins and a placing from three visits and she scored the only time she raced over the mile. The one to beat. PRINCESS GRACY (5) added to a string of wins and placings when she registered another strong performance last start for third to FRANCENT at Cambridge. Beat that rival in winning two back so must be some hope of doing it again. TYTATE (4) is working towards a win having produces three nice efforts off a spell, splitting the top two selections when runner-up off the inside draw last start. MHAI SURFER GIRL (2) has been coming from wide or second line draws of late. Next best aided by a better draw.
