Alexandra Park Race 9 - 100% Home Magness Benrow Handicap Trot
BOLT FOR THE HILL (4) got it wrong when well in the betting last week but had been racing well before that with a string of top-four finishes including a win here three back. With manners he is up to winning this. BRAVEHEARTHIGHLANDER (6) produced an encouraging effort when 2.4 metres away in third at this venue over 2700m last week at his first outing back from a spell. Big chance with improvement likely. IRON LOVE (8) has won two of three previous third-up attempts so may be ready to produce his best. BARSUKOV (3) was solid from a 20m handicap last start and has claims off his win here two back.
