Alice Springs Race 5

Derby Day Nov 1St (Bm67)

Prize Money: $25,500

ALTAR BOY (2) is an honest type who impressed last time scoring by 2.5L over 1400m at this track. Has won 2/3 here over a mile and has the inside gate and handy 2kg claim. Tough to beat. KIEFFER (4) is a threat. Placed second behind the above seeking the hat-trick and hit the line hard from back in the field. Stepping back up to the mile won't be an issue and he gets in better at the weights. VALLEY PRINCE (6) found one much too good last time as favourite and was better leading and placing over this distance the one prior. Maps well and the 3kg claim brings him into it. FLYING START (3) placed well beaten behind Alter Boy, but he got a long way back and can get closer with better luck.

Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track Hcp September 22 over 1400m defeating Kieffer carrying 56kg at $3. The start before that from last on the turn second last of 7 at this track Bm76 on September 14 over 1200m, 2 len behind Super Sharp carrying 54.5kg at $5. Rates highly and will prove tough to beat here as always.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track Bm54 on September 22 over 1400m, 4 len behind The Big Freeze with 60kg at $3.20. The race before that led but faded 2nd of 8 at this track 0 - 64 on August 29 over 1600m, 2 len behind Kieffer with 54.5kg at $19. Definite winning chance. Steps out over an extra 200m and must be considered.
