Alice Springs Race 6 - Congratulations Sonja Logan 500 Winners Hcp
VENTING (2) fought back gamely when finishing runner-up by a short-head here in a 4-horse field a fortnight ago. He has a terrific record on this track and normally holds his form when fit. He is nicely placed to go one better this time. DUTY (4) last raced 5 weeks ago when finishing fifth here over 1400m. He is more suited to racing over a mile and with a 4kg weight drop, he can bounce back into the money here. HASSELTOFF (1) is a durable veteran who made it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when scoring a soft win by well over a length at Morphettville 4 weeks ago. That sort of form stacks up nicely in this and even with the top weight, he can win again. TINTERN POWER (5) does not win often but has been in the top 3 on many occasions, including his last couple of starts here over a mile. Stick with him for all combinations. PHOENIX FLYER (3) is a former Queensland-trained veteran who still has plenty of zest for racing. He usually takes a run and the market will be your best guide.

At the latest run favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.5 len at Morphettville Bm78 January 25 over 1600m defeating Divine Fire carrying 57.5kg at $3.40. The run before that ran last of 8 at Morphettville Bm78 on December 28 over 1800m, 7 len behind Nasho with 58.5kg at $2.35. Capable of big final splits.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign third in a small field at Gladstone Bm50 December 14 over 1517m, 7 len behind Soften It Up carrying 68.5kg at $2.50. When resuming last campaign fifth of 8 at Mackay Bm55 December 16 2023 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Deel With Me carrying 61kg at $9.50. One of the better chances.

Going well. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on February 15 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Vinnie's Spirit carrying 55kg at $7. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at this track Bm54 on February 2 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Miracoli carrying 54.5kg at $6. Worth considering based on the latest effort.
