Alice Springs Race 3

Gallagher Insurance Brokers (Bm69)

Prize Money: $25,500

SQUARE CUT (3) scored an impressive 6 lengths win over 1000m when resuming from a spell over 1000m. Fitter for that and he's proven second-up. Happy to have him on top. BOY BIG (2) turned things around last start over 1200m getting the job done by a half length. Has his share of talent and is a chance to repeat in a suitable race. DELAGO LAD (1) has disappointed his last two, but the form prior stacks up. Comes back 100m and no surprise to see a better effort from him. DOWN THE WICKET (4) ran below expectations fresh from a spell over 1000m. Goes well second up and gets in well with a 3kg claim. Good enough at best and has to be considered.

Second run back. First-up after eight months won by 6 len at this track Hcp January 10 over 1000m defeating Bahama Bay with 55kg at $14. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at this track Wfa on March 29 over 1200m, 8 len behind Lumber Punk carrying 58.5kg at $26. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Fitter and can go on.
