Alexander Park - Thursday, 23 October


Alexandra Park Harness Race 1
6 Hooray Henry

More of the same for 6 Hooray Henry this week, he's been appearing consistently here for the past couple of months each week and running bold races against good fields and will do exactly the same tonight. His form is fantastic and if he runs up to the recent efforts he goes close again. 
Selections: 6-2-5-4-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 2
2 Higher Power

All the authority in the world when winning here fresh up from 2 Higher Power, just did it easy. Should be improved off that run too which is concerning for tonight's rivals because if he trots away on terms then he's all of a sudden incredibly hard to beat. 
Selections: 2-9-8-1-7 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 3
3 He's Not That Into U

Now one of the most watched harness videos on social media, there's no hiding the throw away of victory from 3 He's Not That Into U on debut here. Actually won, but lost it in the room. Clearly a horse with ability and if he produces the same again, without the jump at the end, he wins. 
Selections: 3-7-1-4-2 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 4
1 Patrick Mahomes

Sneaking under the radar a little lately, 1 Patrick Mahomes lands in here looking to find some winning form and can do just that. Handy in his last couple from well back but tonight off the front tape should be a lot closer and will be charging at the finish. 
Selections: 1-7-5-6-4 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 5
6 Melody Banner

TIP OF THE DAY
Smart run first up here from 6 Melody Banner in a field a bit better than this one. Should be better for it and with the small drop in grade gets a chance to dominate here. Good junior in the bike which is always a plus and looks one of the best bets of the night. 
Selections: 6-4-8-5-3 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 6
5 Paramount Spur

Sure to be better for the first up run, 5 Paramount Spur looks a decent hope here tonight. Had shown a lot of ability in public runs ahead of the debut and with a bit more experience under the belt might be able to get it all right here and take control of this. 
Selections: 5-8-4-2-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 7
4 Mediator

He's a nice type 4 Mediator, and he keeps just doing enough to keep the hook baited most weeks. Should relish this opportunity tonight with a draw advantage over his key rivals and if he's out and rolling at the top of the straight will be hard to hold out. 
Selections: 4-8-2-6-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 8
7 Youneverknow

Professional little return to racing from 7 Youneverknow last time out and it perhaps is a signal of a very good campaign ahead. Steps it up again here but there's enough ability there, and the good manners, to have no issues. Should prove hard to catch. 
Selections: 7-4-5-9-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 9
1 Double Parked

A lot of benefit to be taken from the fresh up run of 1 Double Parked here last time out. Sure to have come on leaps and bounds from that. Gets into a winnable race from the inside draw and as long as not too far off them at the turn shouldn't be too far away. 
Selections: 1-6-7-4-8 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 10
5 Southern Diamond

Lovely pipe opening run from 5 Southern Diamond to finish third behind American Muscle here a few weeks ago. Looked in need of the run but was still great through the line. Very talented trotter and could be in for a good campaign if he keeps trending the right way. 
Selections: 5-7-1-9-6 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 11
2 Loveable Rogue

In a good vein of form at the moment is 2 Loveable Rogue and while not winning races, it's building beautifully toward one. Gets a nice opportunity here from a good draw in an even field and only needs that little bit of luck to be a major player. 
Selections: 2-5-1-4-3
