Alice Springs Race 4 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Mdn Plate
HIGHSTRUNG (3) is third up for the new yard and the former Victorian would win this if presented near best. Didn't have much luck last time when in the market and the longer sprint suits. Maps to get every chance. LAWS WARS (4) is also third-up and the former South Australian is right up to this. Carries 3kg less today with the claim and should be ready to fire. ARTISTIC FLAIR (2) switched from a NSW barn and didn't get into it first up after completely mucking the start. Some trust required, but he has more up his sleeve and the 2kg claim is handy. NATIONAL GOAL (1) went forward at Townsville 41 days ago but couldn't quicken in the run home over 1400m. Has his first start for the Gardner yard and is worth a betting watch.

Second-up. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after three months ran last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1200m, 10 len behind Standard Street with 57.5kg at $10. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on October 5 over 1500m, 12 len behind Couldthisbetheone with 57kg at $16. Strips fitter and deserves consideration.
