Alice Springs Race 1 - St Patrick's Day Cup March 15Th Hcp (64)

Small field but plenty of chances. BLACK ZOUS (1) has been knocking on the door with back-to-back seconds. Has the claim and inside draw and expected to go close. Stablemate VERBOSITY (3) is a new addition to the yard and is a former Victorian who won last start at Burrumbeet. Freshened for this and should measure up to this level on best figures. HEBEL (4) resumes from a long break. Yet to win fresh but looks well placed with the claim and will give a sight. TELLEZ (2) has been freshened since sitting deep throughout and finished third here last time. Has good pace to sit stalking the lead and among the chances on best. TANGO STEPZ (5) has been running on hard and rates strongly.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 7 at this track 0 - 64 on January 24 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Buckleup Buddy with 60.5kg at $1.60. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on January 10 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Rock Of Kryptonite carrying 57.5kg at $2.70. Overdue for a win and expected to give a sight.

Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track 0 - 64 on January 24 over 1100m, neck behind Buckleup Buddy with 57.5kg at $17. The race before that won by a head at this track 0 - 58 December 20 over 1000m defeating Boss Shelby with 58.5kg at $11. Rates strongly on recent form and could be over the odds.
