Alice Springs Race 1 - 1300Cummins Hcp (C2)
ONLY THE BEST (3) did a few things wrong when turning for home here nearly 5 weeks ago and has had some gear changes since then. He has the pole position and can do a lot better this time. Hard to beat. REVOLUTION RISING (2) has raced his way into form with a last start third here nearly 3 weeks ago. The blinkers are popped back on, and he usually holds his form when fit. TENNESSEE MAGGIE (7) found it hard to win a race when trained in South Australia, and should make an immediate impact in this area fresh up. Include in all combinations. BATTLE JACK (6) has shown nothing in 3 starts this prep in South Australia. A change of scenery can help, and he can spice up combinations. SHEER REWARD (4) did not handle the Katherine circuit last start after some good runs here before that. Stick with him.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 14 at Gawler 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 3 over 1200m, on a slow track; 18 len behind Copper Bullet carrying 58kg at $5.50. The run before that struggled in the run home; ran last of 11 at Murray Bridge 3yo Mdn-Sw on July 2 over 1200m, 9 len behind Be Responsible with 55.5kg at $19. A form reversal is expected.
