Alexandra Park Race 9 - TOP OF THE PARK - TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR FRI 8 MAY MOB PACE
CHANEL NOIRE (3) scored last start by 2.25 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1700m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. CAPTAIN MOONLIGHT (2) ran seventh last start at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m, beaten 13 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. BIG HERB (7) disappointed last time when ninth over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Can make amends. MR MIKI (5) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at Manawatu eight days ago.
