Alexandra Park - 16 February 2024

Race 2 @ 6.26pm - #8 Beta Prepare

It's a full field of maidens and the outside barrier makes it a tough ask.  If he's running on in the later stages I'll be happy.

Race 7 @ 8.48pm - #3 The Surfer & #10 Le Major

First cab off the rank in the Harness Million is The Surfer.  I thought it was a game performance stepping up to the top 3 year olds last week.  From his draw let's hope he finds a cosy spot and gets a shot at them.

Le Major was well in need of his first run back and I expect him to strip a fitter horse.  While the critics may say it was a below par performance, his last 800 was quicker than the winner.  Stay loyal.

Race 8 @ 9.18pm - #2 Bad Medicine

I guess you have to have one advantage racing Cup horses and it's starting off the front tape.  He's generally a great beginner so he's one to cover in your trifecta/first four combinations.
