Alexandra Park Harness Tips & Preview | Friday 13 February

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday, 13 February. 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 1
4 Higher Power

The manners came to the party last week and Higher Power (4) showed there’s still a bit of winning left to be done with a bold effort for second. No harder here tonight really and with an uninterrupted run should be right in the fight throughout this.  
Selections: 4-8-5-6-7

Alexandra Park Harness Race 2
6 Princess Gracy

A lot better for her fresh up run here a few weeks back, expect Princess Gracy (6) to take a nice stride forward here tonight. Better drawn in a field that looks well within her reach. A confident Zachary Butcher drive should net the right result.  
Selections: 6-7-4-1-5

Alexandra Park Harness Race 3
8 Brass Razoo

It was always going to take a few starts but it appears the penny is really starting to drop for Brass Razoo (8). Has been great in the last few starts and was particularly good here last week as well. Into a winnable race again and continued progression would be enough to win this.  
Selections: 8-10-9-7-4

Alexandra Park Harness Race 4
6 Sooner The Bettor

For all that he’s done and all the good horses he’s raced against this should be easy for Sooner The Bettor (6) tonight. Quality animal who will likely head forward to tackle some bigger races in the coming months. Maybe a little vulnerable after a while between runs but class alone takes him close.

Alexandra Park Harness Race 5
5 Muchacho

The big free-ranging style of Muchacho (5) looks pretty well suited to this assignment tonight. He’s just got to be out in free air and running along at the right time to really turn the acid test on and put his rivals to the sword. Always susceptible to late swoopers, but hard to run down.  
Selections: 5-8-6-4-2

Alexandra Park Harness Race 6
4 Courmayeur

In an award for consistency over the past couple of months, few would better the record of Courmayeur (4). Doing everything but win at the moment however gets a great chance to turn that around here. Wouldn’t need to go any better either, perhaps just settle a little handier early.

Alexandra Park Harness Race 7
4 The Night Fox

A newcomer into the Ray Green and Nate Delany barn, The Night Fox (4) might be the surprise packet here. Has the talent to win a race like this and new surroundings might be just what is needed to make it happen. Worth a good look.  
Selections: 4-8-7-5-1

Alexandra Park Harness Race 8
2 It’s Not Kathy
Tip of The Day

Some really strong efforts of late from It’s Not Kathy (2) and it would appear it is only a matter of time until a victory comes. Gets a golden opportunity tonight with the confidence levels high and a good draw to work from. Might look to dominate from the outset.

Alexandra Park Harness Race 9
1 B D Castleton
Each Way

There’s a motor there, but B D Castleton (1) isn’t quite sure yet how to marry it up to the manners department. Took on race winners last start and trotter away before galloping. Might be better for that experience and if able to put it all together here, becomes the one to beat.
