Alice Springs Race 1

Red Centre Technology Partners Hcp (76)

Prize Money: $23,400

BAHAMA BAY (4) was racing well before jumping awkwardly last time in Open grade. Should sit closer today and deserves another chance in a suitable race. GREAT GUST (3) placed in the same race also well beaten by Square Cut. Missed a nose prior and has the inside gate and handy 2kg claim. He should be right in it. ALTAR BOY (1) was straight back into the winners' circle, winning this grade by a space over a mile. Come back to a sprint freshened but may prove too good regardless. He gets in well with a 3kg claimer engaged for this. ROCK OF KRYPTONITE (5) led and won easily two weeks ago. Carries 3.5kg less and it wouldn't surprise if he repeats the dose.

Last start 4th in a small field at this track Hcp on January 10 over 1000m, 7 len behind Square Cut carrying 59kg at $6.50. The run before that 2nd of 7 at this track Bm76 on December 20 over 1000m, nose behind Great Gust carrying 59kg at $4.60. Certainly worth another chance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track Hcp on January 10 over 1000m, 7 len behind Square Cut carrying 57kg at $2.70. The run before that favourite; won by a nose at this track Bm76 December 20 over 1000m defeating Delago Lad carrying 55.5kg at $6. Has a good strike rate and is a solid top-three chance.
