Alexandra Park - 20 October 2022

Race 5 @ 7.26 pm - #2 Outlaw Man & #12 Crusader

Outlaw Man has finally landed a good draw.  There's quite a bit of speed on the front row but hopefully he can find a handy spot.  With a good run, I expect him to finish the race off.

While it's a very tidy field and he has a bad draw, I'm surprised the bookies have dropped Crusader so quickly.  It'll be a hard ask but look for him to be getting home when it counts.

Race 6 @ 7.51 pm - #10 Aflyin Spur
His manners have been costly of late but let's hope starting alone off the 25 metres helps.  If he puts it together he can feature.

Race 7 @ 8.16 pm - #2 Bad Medicine, #3 New York Minute & #7 Taipo

Bad Medicine gets a start on the opposition but can land close to the pace.  He'll give you a genuine run for your money.

I've given New York Minute a few standing starts this week and I'm confident he'll go away.  I'd like to think he's a top four contender with the right trip.

Taipo wasn't his usual self a fortnight ago when he pulled hard.  He's been faultless since and I wouldn't be surprised if he gives the back markers a shake.  Stick with him.
