Alice Springs Race 2 - Sean Bryan Memorial Hcp (70)
GREAT GUST (3) was a handy former Victorian-trained gelding who has made a great start to his local career with a win fresh up and a last-start second by a nose here just over 2 weeks ago. He slides down a grade from that run, and with the advantage of the pole position, he can jump straight back into the winners' circle. BRAT (2) was beaten by a head when finishing runner-up in a 4-horse field a fortnight ago. He is always a winning hope at this level and won't be far away. BETTER NOT FUSS (5) won over a mile 3 starts back but has not kicked on as expected in his next couple of runs over that trip. He drops back to 1200m, and from a hand draw, he can make amends. MAGIC DEFENSE (7) won fresh up here by a nose when making it 4 wins straight on this track. Her 2 subsequent runs have been good, especially her latest when runner-up 2 weeks ago in a stronger field. She will be hard to hold out again. MATHEMATICS (4) broke a long win drought with a nose victory over 1400m last start.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track Bm76 on April 5 over 1400m, 5 len behind Mathematics with 54.5kg at $9.

Useful gelding. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track Hcp on April 6 over 1000m, neck behind Zourata with 54kg at $7.50. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading of 10 at this track Wfa on March 29 over 1200m, 10 len behind Lumber Punk with 58.5kg at $51. Can improve again. Expected to feature.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at this track Bm76 April 5 over 1400m defeating Great Gust with 55kg at $6. The start before that got back early 5th of 10 at this track Wfa on March 29 over 1200m, 7 len behind Lumber Punk carrying 58.5kg at $101. Going well and could measure up again.

Useful type. Last start struggled in the run home; 8th of 10 at this track 3&4yo Bm68 on April 5 over 1600m, 11 len behind Vanguard Legend with 61kg at $3.20. The race before that couldn't go on with it; second last of 10 at this track Wfa on March 29 over 1600m, 12 len behind Hasseltoff with 59kg at $31. Holds value appeal back to 1200m.

Useful mare. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track F&M 0 - 76 on April 6 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Pushover with 56kg at $5.50. The run before that 5th of 11 at this track 0 - 70 on March 22 over 1200m, 6 len behind Zourata carrying 57.5kg at $10. Not far away last start. Not to be underestimated.
