Alice Springs Race 6 - Alice Springs Cup Carnival April 11Th-May 4Th 2026 Hcp

DOWN THE WICKET (5) returns after a spell of five months. Looking to emulate his win at Darwin at the beginning of last prep. Should be hard to stop. The well-related BAHAMA BAY (3) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Bon's A Pearla) finished 1.2 lengths back in fifth over 1000m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Good enough to take this out. EXPERT WITNESS (4) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four outings this preparation, finishing a neck away in third most recently over 1000m here. Must be included in calculations. GREAT GUST (2) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at today's course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track Bm76 on November 22 over 1200m, 4 len behind Delago Lad with 59kg at $7. Second run from a spell won by a nose at this track Bm76 December 20 over 1000m defeating Delago Lad with 55.5kg at $6. He has a fantastic record at his home track and is worth following up.

The start before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track 0 - 70 December 6 over 1100m defeating Demiquaver carrying 56.5kg at $3.60. Not far away last time. Certainly worth another chance.
