Alexandra Park Harness Race 1
3 Cyclone Rebel

Talented two-year-old Cyclone Rebel (3) might have been beaten last week but was fresh up for a number of weeks and looked likely to take plenty of benefit from the run. Fitter tonight and lands in a good race again and should be finding the line with plenty of purpose. 
Selections: 3-2-4-5-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 2
7 Patricia Ruby

Nice progression over the past month from Patricia Ruby (7) and while a win hasn't come her way yet the efforts have been very good. Manners are getting better and better and she might look to trot onto the speed here today and give them all something to think about. 
Selections: 7-6-4-5-3 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 3
2 Nazare

Debutant Nazare (2) is a son of Downbytheseaside from the Arna Donnelly stable and brings some excellent trial form forward to tonight. Has won his last three public outings and done so with a bit in store and in nice time. Looks a nice race to kick off the career in from a good draw. 
Selections: 2-4-5-1-3 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 4
3 Memories

With high speed in abundance, Memories (3) looks a lovely bet here tonight. Slashing effort last week in a very strong field and should enjoy the slight step back tonight. Needs to trot but if anywhere in the first dozen turning for home might just be too quick for them. 
Selections: 3-2-10-7-4 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 5
3 Words

TIP OF THE DAY
With a few runs under the belt now from a spell Words (3) should be at peak fitness and ready to rock and roll. Talented mare but she's been her own worst enemy by over-racing. Likely to press forward again here and if she can relax she's got the ability to withhold all challenges. 
Selections: 3-2-6-7-4 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 6
7 Hooray Henry

Not many in better form at the moment in the north than Hooray Henry (7). He's thriving on racing and loving turning up most weeks and giving his all. Similar set up to much of his recent racing here with a wide draw but he's charging through the line and will be doing the same again here. 
Selections: 7-1-2-5-6 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 7
3 Loteria

In terms of all out ability not many here would match Loteria (3) but she's her own worst enemy at times by getting things wrong. Looking for her to turn that all around here with a clean round and if she can do that then she's a strong winning hope in this line up. 
Selections: 3-4-1-5-6 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 8
4 Gloria Steinem

Good start to the racing career by Gloria Steinem (4) and the run last time out for third suggested a winning turn will be quick in coming. Finds a nice even maiden race tonight in which to make that happen and wouldn't have to go much better than some of the recent runs to salute. 
Selections: 4-5-3-2-1
