Alexandra Park Race 7 - SPRING CUP NIGHT - FRIDAY 19 SEPTEMBER HANDICAP TROT

BELLE NEIGE (6) finished fourth two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 2700m at this track. Gives 30m 1 away from the standing start but is good enough to overcome the handicap. CASTANA (1) finished fourth last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to take out a race like this. EYRE I WILL (2) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 2200m at this track three months ago. LORD POPINJAY (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2200m at this track last time out.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (10m U1) over 2200m at this track beaten 10 m by Castana (2:49.90) in 3yo+ on August 8 at $12.30. Before that 3rd (20m U1) over 2200m at this track beaten 24 m by Castana (2:47.90) on August 1 at $5.50. Needs to do more. Not as keen on her chances in this field.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr7) over 2200m at this track beaten 3.5 m by It Ain't Me Babe (2:49.30) on August 22 at $23.70. Before that 2nd (40m 1) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 3 m by Makaku (2:52.30) on August 14 at $5.50. This looks a far sterner test.
