Alice Springs Race 1 - Cks Electrical Mdn Plate
BUCKLEUP BUDDY (4) showed marked improvement from his first local run here when finishing third here 2 weeks ago. He is back in his rightful maiden grade, and with the blinkers on for the first time, he should go close to taking this out. DEPENDENCY (5) was fifth over a mile here 15 days ago in a tougher field and drops back to 1200m which is a touch of a concern, but in maiden company, she won't be far away. SABIE FALLS (7) only battled in a stronger field here a fortnight ago and she is one of a few that are dropping in class. She was placed over this trip in March and she should finish a lot closer this time. BODMIN BOY (1) was beaten by a wide gate last time and can do a lot better from a superior gate this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SPILL THE MONEY (8) will be peaking third up and as a 6-year-old mare, she has to make up for lost time. Include in all combinations.

Four-year-old gelding (De Gaulle - Waitui Belle) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. Trained here and should get all the favours from the gate but others rate better this time.

Last start 3rd in a small field at this track 3yo Bm68 on April 6 over 1200m, 3 len behind Snore Room carrying 54kg at $8.50. The run before that 6th of 9 at this track 3yo Sw on March 22 over 1600m, 8 len behind The Men Went Home with 57.5kg at $12. Making headway. Heading in the right direction and looks hard to beat.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1200m, 10 len behind Lean On Me with 57kg at $11. Second run from a spell 3rd of 10 at this track Bm54 on March 16 over 1000m, 8 len behind Chief White Sock carrying 54kg at $13. Going well. Capable and should go well.
