Alice Springs Race 3 - Ladbrokes Red Centre Winter Series Final (Bm66)

LUSKIN HERO (1) was half a length off the winner when finishing runner-up as favourite here nearly 3 weeks ago. He is perfectly placed down in grade, and despite a big weight, he is the one to beat. JAMAICAN GOLD (5) took his time to acclimatise to racing in this area, and has now gone back-to-back, including an impressive BM54 win here last time out. There is more depth here, but he drops 4kg, and the hat-trick beckons. RIVER FROST (4) made it 2 wins from 2 starts on this track over this distance when beating a lesser field here last time out. He is also down in weight, and he can win again. BODMIN BOY (2) has been freshened up since a last start win here nearly 7 weeks ago. He has been racing consistently and is sure to be ready to rumble in a nice field like this. TANGO STEPZ (6) is a durable veteran in a good space right now. Don't risk her.
