Alexandra Park Race 5 - WORLDS BEST HOOF OIL - HERE FOR THE HORSE MOBILE PACE
AKUTA (7) is a talented gelding first up from a break of 19 months who generally wastes no time finding form. Did a good job to finish second over 2600m at Addington to kick off last campaign. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Sure to prove tough to beat under these circumstances. TREACHEROUS BABY (5) produced a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at this track. Has the talent to take care of this field. YOU LITTLE BEAUTY (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2200m at this track last time out. JOES ROCK (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at Cambridge Raceway over 2700m.
