Alexandra Park Race 5 - Lincoln Farms Franklin Cup Handicap Pace (G2)

BETTER ECLIPSE (7) has been racing in great heart. Was responsible for a game effort last time out when successful by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Mt Harding. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. JOLIMONT (4) made it two wins from his last three runs two weeks ago, getting home by 8 metres over 2700m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. THE BIG LEBOWSKI (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2200m at this track. Should run a big race. KANGO (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2200m at this track.

Well beaten last start by Jolimont, a rival who he faces again; when 200 metres sixth at this track over 2700m in a race on November 29. This looks a far sterner task.
