Alice Springs Race 6

Truckies Day 28th Aug Hcp (Bm64)

Prize Money: $23,500

Happy to give SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (1) another try. Bug winner this grade two back in what has turned out to be a hot form race. Stepped up to 1400m here latest as favourite and stalked the pace but never came on. Far better than that and gets a chance to atone in a weak race. THE BIG FREEZE (2) came through the same race and was also well off best in fourth. Another who can do better this time. The rest are in pretty moderate form. FOREVER A DIAMOND (5) is close to a win but is a 17-start maiden. Eligible for easier but going pretty well and worth thought. CAPISTAN (4) is yet to win in 15 tries here but rarely far away. LOVE TO LIE (6) is having her first try this circuit and can improve with the blinkers added.

Last start ran last in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on July 26 over 1400m, 9 len behind Flying Start carrying 56.5kg at $2.70. The run before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track 0 - 64 July 12 over 1200m defeating Stella Bystarlight carrying 58.5kg at $3.10. Better than the last effort suggests and is worth another chance.

The race before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track 0 - 64 on June 21 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Mr Jones with 56kg at $6. Yet to win in 15 tries here but rarely far away.

At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Darwin Mdn-Sw on July 29 over 1300m, 6 len behind Entrapment carrying 56.5kg at $3.30. Before that from last on the turn 4th of 7 at Darwin 3yo Bm68 on July 25 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Texture carrying 54kg at $51. Working up to a win.

At the latest run ran second last of 11 at Darwin Mdn-Sw on August 1 over 1200m, 11 len behind Tee Galleria carrying 57kg at $101. The start before that raced on the pace before fading ran last of 12 at Darwin 3yo SW on July 18 over 2050m, 17 len behind Leveraged Buyout carrying 56kg at $151. First try this circuit and can improve with the blinkers added.
