Alexandra Park Race 2 - BORDER FENCING SERVICES HANDICAP TROT
HILLBILLY BLUES (7) resumes off some good form, clocking in fourth in stronger company when last seen in June and winning his prior outing at this circuit and distance. Goes well fresh with a win and a placing in two attempts. Looks nicely placed for a winning return. CRACKERJACK (8) was very consistent last time in work, heading to the paddock off a string of wins and placings at this venue. Has placed in both previous fresh attempts so expect him to continue that strong form line. OVERWATCH (3) showed promise in a debut win here. This is stronger but he has upside so could go through his grades. EYE SEE YOU (6) progressed off a fresh placing to win here last time and starts 20m closer in the handicap.

Pass-marks in recent attempts but needing manners again plus an ounce of luck.
