Alice Springs Race 2 - Vale Michael Smith Hcp (58)
Prepared to give BONNY IMPACT (2) another try. Drew wide and was completely gassed early on to lead but once beaten in the straight allowed to drop out. The margin was not flattering and is much better than that. Drawn ideally this time, smaller field and suspect she will take catching. SPLISH SPLASH (4) is the clear danger. Was a fresh-up winner here when last resuming and looks ideally placed here fresh with the claim. Will stalk the lead and prove tough to beat. HELLIVIT (1) is another worth forgiving. Has a good record course and distance and much better than the latest. Goes close on best figures. RED HAWK (5) was safely held fresh but fitter again and can improve sharply. JAMAICAN GOLD (3) can also improve second run back from a break.

At the latest run second last of 8 at this track 0 - 64 on January 24 over 1100m, 10 len behind Throw At Da Stumps carrying 56kg at $10. The race before that won by 1.75 len at this track Bm54 January 10 over 1000m defeating Bodmin Boy with 57kg at $5.50. Better than last start and worth another chance off a far better d
