Alexandra Park Race 1 - CELEBRATING MATARIKI AT ALEXANDRA PARK MOBILE PACE
AMERICAN ME (6) went well to finish third two starts ago then registered a commanding victory last start, scoring by 16 metres over 2700m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. MANTRA BLUE (5) showed plenty of fight to salute last start over 2200m here, getting home by a neck. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SEACLUSION (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at this venue over 2700m. Top-three hope. FINAL CHANGE (2) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 2200m at this circuit two weeks ago. Strips fitter now.

4th (Fr1) over 2700m at this track beaten 21 m by American Me (3:26.00) on June 13 at $19.90. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 2200m at this track, beaten 7 m by Mantra Blue (2:49.20) in 3yo+ on June 6 at $9.10. Not keen.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2200m at this track, beaten 7 m by Mantra Blue (2:49.20) in 3yo+ on June 6 at $19.60. Worth including.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Greased Lightnin at this track over 1700m in a 3yo+ on May 30 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when second behind American Me at this track over 2700m on June 13 at $5.50. Another big run would not surprise.
