Alexandra Park Race 4 - IRT YOUNG GUNS 2YO PRELUDE MOBILE TROT
APOLLO ELEVEN (1) is hard to knock having won his two starts to date, last week overcoming a wider barrier to salute at this circuit and distance. Tackles a couple of handy rivals but the ace draw gives him the chance to deliver again. ROYAL MONARCH (5) started a hot favourite last start but manners let him down. Showed what he is capable of when cruising home on debut at Addington prior so has the talent if he gets it right. DUKE OF BOURBON (3) was looming as a challenger in his debut outing last week when a break proved costly. Must be some risk off that but should be better for that experience and looks to have talent. T K SUPERSONIC (4) has been runner-up in both starts to date, the latest behind APOLLO ELEVEN. Gets his lowest draw yet so can be competitive again.
