Alexandra Park Harness Picks - Thursday, 21 November


Alexandra Park Harness Race 1
4 Shesgold

Emerging from well back in the pack the most recent performance of Shesgold was good enough to suggest that there's a winning turn coming at short notice. This looks like a good option for that to happen. Just needs to get things right at the start and will be right in the hunt throughout.
Selections: 4-11-10-2-7

Alexandra Park Harness Race 2
5 McKendrick

After finally finding some winning form, don't be surprised if McKendrick goes and repeats the dose here again tonight. In a great vein of form and was too good for them last time out. Not a whole lot harder here either so looks a strong hope of doubling up.
Selections: 5-1-4-7-3

Alexandra Park Harness Race 3
13 Loteria

All the ability in the world, but severely lacking in the manners department at the moment is Loteria. Just needs to trot the journey here and not get too far out of the ground early and should have the measure of them all. But doing it right is a big question.
Selections: 13-5-3-12-8

Alexandra Park Harness Race 4
7 Major Major

The last start victory of Major Major, albeit at Cambridge, was no fluke. He's a talented type who can go on and do a great job over the summer months, starting here tonight. Not a huge rise in grade and in fact he's taken on and competed in fields much stronger than this. Nice value on offer to try and find out.
Selections: 7-4-3-10-2

Alexandra Park Harness Race 5
1 Stone Cold

Excellent work in two runs back from a spell without all favours from Stone Cold and life maps up very nicely tonight from a good draw. Should be able to land on the speed, if not in front early and from there dictate against this field. Hard to stop if in front turning for home.
Selections: 1-11-13-6-8

Alexandra Park Harness Race 6
6 Sooner The Bettor

Probably not quite the trip down south they were hoping for Sooner The Bettor but he should find a winning groove back here tonight. This line up is nothing compared to what he faced on the mainland and if he can find the form that had him beating Merlin earlier on in the campaign, then he wins for fun.
Selections: 6-8-7-5-4

Alexandra Park Harness Race 7
10 Shez Bella

It feels like the ability of Shez Bella is often undervalued by many leading into her races but when she turns it on, she's lethal. Winner of three of her last four and second in the other so right in the zone. Usually pretty good from the stand too so expect her to eat up the handicap quick. Can grab another.
Selections: 10-11-6-5-9

Alexandra Park Harness Race 8
8 Franco Santana

It's been an impressive rise this time in from Franco Santana and he looks a horse who can carried right on and go a great job over the coming months. Toughest test to date, yes. But he's got the ability and the staying prowess to overcome the wide draw and work himself into contention here.
Selections: 8-1-3-2-7

Alexandra Park Harness Race 9
6 Beachbreak
Tip of The Day

After a string of really good performances in recent weeks, Beachbreak must be surely getting close to knocking on the door of success. In the last four starts has been beaten by Aventador, I Got Chills, Captain Sampson and Chase Me. Anyone of those starts $1.10 in this line up. Just needs the right kind of run to make the most of the opportunity.
Selections: 6-1-5-7-2
