Matt Markham: Best At Alexandra Park Harness Thursday Night

Race 1
6 Kiss And Run

Continues to run really strong races but just not quite able to pinch a win. That might change tonight with race fitness and experience on hand over some key rivals. Good enough to lead them a merry chase and win.
Selections: 6-9-2-8-5

Race 2
2 Always B You

Cracking efforts of late and showed now fear last time following a good win the start prior. Big draw advantage tonight which should have her on the pace and out of trouble and in contention here for a long way.
Selections: 2-4-10-5-1

Race 3
3 Irish Whispers

Brave effort on Grins race night at Cambridge when runner up. Probably still on the up then too so should be really ready to rock and roll tonight. Lands a good draw with the right driver to make something happen.
Selections: 3-7-5-8-1

Race 4
3 Paramount Kiwi

Impressive winning last week and meets a very similar field here tonight. Good enough to make own luck and leave them chasing when they turn for home. A very good one in a strong crop but should have their measure here.
Selections: 3-4-7-6-2

Race 5
6 Demon Blue

Getting better and better each time a race comes along and really pushed Cyclone Jordy last time out suggesting the gap might be closing. Better draw than the key rival tonight and likely to try and make the most of it. His turn, perhaps?
Selections: 6-10-4-1-2

Race 6
2 Youretheonethatiwant

Can't do much more than win and that's what has been offered up in two runs to the races. Heading in the right direction and looks a prime candidate to be three-from-three by the end of tonight. Good draw, right driver and confidence high.
Selections: 2-5-6-1-3

Race 7
9 Merlin

Well and truly the king of the castle at the moment following his epic Race by Grins victory. Little trickier here with his chances hinged on the horse in front of him early. With luck, he's likely to be charging through the line again though.
Selections: 9-11-3-4-2

Best: 3 Irish Whispers (Race 3)
Next: 2 Always B You (Race 2)
Value: 6 Billy The Kid (Race 10)
