Alexandra Park Race 5 - SOUTHERN CROSS PARTNERS MBL PACE
LUCKY LUKA (4) won well last start by 4 metres at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Good enough to take out a race like this. PRINCE LINCOLN (8) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 20 metres victory over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway when leading all of the way as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. DOMINUS (10) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw. BUDDY GUY (2) resumes from a spell after having won his debut run over 1700m at this track when leading all of the way. He won a recent five runner trial and fresh-up should be frighting out the finish.
