Cromwell Race 5 - STADIUM TAVERN ALEXANDRA HANDICAP TROT
DREAMS PAT (4) is in good form at present. Finished fourth after making an early mistake at his latest appearance over 2600m at this track. If he gets it right early on, then he is the one to beat in this. KRACKALING (1) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when half a metre from the winner in second over 2600m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar lineup and she can take this out. RANDEL HUSTON P (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by half a metre at this track over 2600m. PRACTICAL MAGIC (5) had a tough run on the first day, and she is good enough to take this out.
