Alice Springs Race 4 - Imparja Television Hcp (66)
DANIHER (2) is heading the right way with his form and was runner-up here 4 weeks ago over a mile. He is peaking at the right time and has senior hoop Brendan Newport replacing an apprentice this time. A good draw will make him the one to beat in this. GRINZINGER BISHOP (4) won his track debut here in his penultimate start before being beaten by a short-head as favourite here 2 weeks ago in a tougher grade. He sees out a mile better than most in this and should be hard to hold out again. Follow your money. TAIPAN TOMMY (7) had no luck at all in a very strong field here last week and only battled home into sixth place. He was back in winning form before that, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he will carry 4.5kg less than last time. Stick with him. PRINCESS PANCAKES (5) has needed both of her runs back from a spell and is now ready to put her best hoof forward. Each way value. EQUAL BALANCE (1) is a durable veteran who will strip fitter second up. Include in all multiples to be safe.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd of 7 at this track 0 - 70 on March 22 over 1600m, head behind Better Not Fuss with 56.5kg at $2.05. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at this track 0 - 58 March 16 over 1600m defeating Esskay with 59kg at $5.50. Will take plenty of beating.

Having second run back today. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind The Final Word carrying 55kg at $26. At only start last preparation ran last of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 17 2024 over 1400m, 18 len behind Kieffer with 57kg at $16. Good return but isn't among the top hopes today.
