MIKE & CLEONE LYONS MOBILE PACE 2000m

Track: GOOD      

DELIGHTFUL CHIC (3) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at Alexandra Park on December 6. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. KEVIN KLINE (9) ran fourth last start at Alexandra Park over 2200m, beaten 10 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. FOLLOW ME FANTASY (7) is worth another chance after a last-start 13th over 2600m at Addington a week-and-a-half ago. TERRORMYLOVE (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1980m at Addington. Can do a lot better and is worth considering.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Cambridge Raceway (2:42.40) beating The Revenant in 2yo+ on July 19 at $7.80. Strong fresh performer and is a top chance to take this out.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Fredastaire at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on April 6 at $8.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Follow Me Fantasy at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on April 8 at $2.90. One of the main contenders.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr7) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 23 m by Beta Prepare (2:40.90) in 3yo+ on April 22 at $50. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Herb at Cambridge Raceway over 1700m on April 15 at $48.80. Will find this tough.
