Alice Springs Race 4 - Young Guns Nov 1St (Bm54)

ONLY THE BEST (1) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 7L victory over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Will jump and run from the inside barrier and back to the shorter sprint can go on with the job. SPLISH SPLASH (4) scored first up two runs back then was well in commission last time but dropped away after she was in the firing line on the turn. Presents fitter and a much better effort is likely. GAME COVE (5) finished second in the same contest beaten 3 lengths. His near miss three back reads particularly well. TANGO STEPZ (3) was plainer in that race but good narrowly beaten the one before in stronger. He can't be ruled out. STANDING BEAR (2) peaks and may be ready to show more like his NSW best.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track 0 - 58 on October 11 over 1000m, 4 len behind Boss Shelby carrying 58.5kg at $4.20. Before that got back early 3rd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on October 5 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind The Girl's Boy with 55kg at $15. Worth plenty of thought.

Last start ran last in a small field at this track 3&4yo Cl2 on October 5 over 1100m, 7 len behind Mougenot with 52kg at $26. The race before that ran last in a small field at Darwin 0 - 58 on September 26 over 1000m, 11 len behind Patriotic King carrying 51kg at $21. Likely to find this out of reach.
