Alice Springs tips and results

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.00 · Lek Maloney

The mare gets in with just 53kg and has a consistent place record. While she's yet to win at the mile and faces a class rise, her light weight and improving form pattern suggest she can be competitive in this field. Barrier 5 is less ideal but not a major disadvantage.

Collison comes off an impressive last-start win over 1400m and is second-up from a spell with a solid second-up record (6: 0-2-0). Well-weighted at 54kg and with in-form jockey Lek Maloney aboard, he represents the main danger to the top selection despite the class rise.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.80 · Sonja D Logan

The inside draw suits Pioneer Park's configuration, and he drops significantly in class here. His recent racing at Fannie Bay should have him primed for this assignment, and his tactical versatility gives him options from the good gate.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.60 · Hannah Le Blanc

His recent form includes 3 wins from his last 6 starts, and he's proven at this distance with 3 wins from 12 attempts. The wide barrier is the main concern, but his tactical speed can overcome this.

The lightweight and experienced jockey further enhance his claims in this field.

Our price $3.80 · SP $2.90 · Lek Maloney

His experience at the distance (12: 1-2-0) and proven class level are positives. However, his recent form has been declining with 5th and 7th place finishes in his last two starts. The high weight (59kg) and wide barrier are concerns, making him a place chance rather than a win prospect.

Our price $9.00 · SP $31.00 · Raymond Vigar

The inside barrier draw is ideal, and he's dropping in class. While the long spell is a concern, his trainer has likely targeted this race, and his record suggests he can fire fresh.

Laws Wars brings the strongest form credentials with 2 seconds and 2 thirds from 4 starts. The 3YO gelding drops significantly in weight to 53.5kg and has proven soft track ability. First-up from a spell but has placed when fresh previously. The fast tempo should suit his midfield running style, allowing him to finish strongly.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.40 · Deborah Barton

Dynasty Reward brings solid credentials with 3 seconds and 1 third from 8 starts. Has valuable track experience with a second and third from 3 runs at Pioneer Park. The 4YO gelding is well-placed to break through for a maiden win.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.20 · Aaron Sweeney

Lightly-raced 3yo filly with impressive strike rates (33% win, 67% place) and perfect 2 from 2 record at Pioneer Park. Though stepping up in class, she's shown progressive form with a win and second from her last two starts. Well-drawn in barrier 3 and carrying a manageable 57kg, she maps to get an ideal midfield position in a race with very fast tempo that should suit her finishing style.

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.80 · Deborah Barton

Consistent 5yo gelding resuming from spell with excellent first-up statistics (1-1-1 from 4). Though drawn wide in barrier 11, he has early speed to overcome this and should be prominent in the early stages. His first-up pattern and recent form make him a major player despite the class rise.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Hayley Spitse

5yo mare with consistent recent form including a win three starts back. No experience at Pioneer Park is a concern, but her racing pattern should suit the expected fast tempo. Drawn well in barrier 6 and with a claiming apprentice aboard, she can run into the placings.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.90 · Deborah Barton

Bahama Bay brings the strongest recent form into this race with a convincing win at Pioneer Park just 14 days ago. While he hasn't raced at this exact distance at this track before, his overall record at Pioneer Park is solid with a win and a placing from 4 starts. Maps to get an ideal run on speed.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.50 · Jessie Philpot

He's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 which should allow him to utilize his early speed. While he hasn't won at this distance at Pioneer Park before, he has placed 4 times from 5 attempts at track and distance, suggesting he's due for a breakthrough.
