Alexandra Park Race 3

BREED WITH WOODLANDS STUD 2026-27 MBL PACE

Prize Money: -

GO JIMMY CASSIDY (6) resumes from a spell of three months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2200m at this track. Well-placed to take this out. AWESOME CHOICE (7) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 2.5 metres, in a nice return to form at Cambridge Raceway over 1700m. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of winning. MIDNIGHT BETTY (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 2200m at this track. HORIZON (5) last appeared when third over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway a year ago. Must be respected.

Distance: 1609m
