Alexandra Park Race 9 - HARNESS RACING AT RUAKAKA MON 6 APRIL MOBILE PACE
MAKO (4) is a talented gelding first up from a break of three-and-a-half months who generally wastes no time finding form and is yet to taste defeat when resuming. Sure to prove very hard to beat while fresh. ULTIMATE RACY GIRL (6) had to dig deep to score last start over 1700m at this track, getting home by just a neck. Has the ability to win again. BETTOR REACTION (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.1 metres here over 2200m. CHANGE TACT (2) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 2000m at Manawatu. Can feature on best figures.
