Alice Springs Race 5

Ladbrokes Fast Payouts Hcp (64)

Prize Money: $21,300

SUPER SHARP (1) capped off an improving form line to score by a short-head here nearly 4 weeks ago when leading all the way. He won't find this much harder and will take some pegging back again. VALLEY PRINCE (3) is heading the right way with his form and hardly ever runs a bad race when fit. He is down in class from his last start, third, and can take this out. BETTER NOT FUSS (2) has been runner-up in his last 3 starts and will be dropping 3.5kg from his last start. He has yet to place over this trip, but he has a great chance to update those stats here. HOT SAUCE (4) was at long odds when finishing runner-up here nearly a fortnight ago when second up from a spell. He will be peaking at his third local start, and can go one better. Just don't expect another fancy price. SABIE FALLS (5) is still a maiden mare, but she has run the odd good race when out of her class in the past. The small field will suit her, but she will need all favours to run into the top 3 here.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; won by a head at this track 0 - 58 July 13 over 1400m defeating Run And Tell with 59.5kg at $3.60. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track Bmnt 58 on June 30 over 1400m, head behind Prophesier with 56.5kg at $9. Back in the winners' list and is definitely worth including.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track Bm54 on July 27 over 1600m, 4 len behind Vitesse Breeze carrying 59kg at $3.70. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on July 13 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Mi Mijo carrying 54kg at $7. Harder here but worth considering.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up of 8 at this track 0 - 58 on June 30 over 1100m, 8 len behind Arrogant Miss carrying 55kg at $21. Second-up 2nd in a small field at this track 0 - 76 on July 27 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind La Vesuvius with 55.5kg at $41. Fitter now and making headway. Knocking on the door and is among the better chances.
