Alexandra Park Race 8 - Elite Stride At Alabar Handicap Trot

IRON LOVE (8) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 3 metres away in third over 2700m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. BRAVEHEARTHIGHLANDER (3) last appeared when eighth over 2600m at Addington ten weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. LORD POPINJAY (5) scored at the first run back from a spell last start over 2700m at this track on August 30 finishing 2.5 metres ahead of his rivals. Big chance in this comparable race. SHEZ BELLA (6) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2200m at this track last time out.

Meets American Muscle again; when 120 metres seventh at this track over 2200m in a race on September 6. This looks a far sterner test.
