Alice Springs Race 5 - Povey Stirk Lawyers Mdn Plate
Very limited maiden but happy to stick with HIGHSTRUNG (3). Has been beaten for early speed over the sharper trip at two runs for the new yard since coming from Victoria. Extra trip is a plus and fitter again. Expecting big improvement. Same goes for LAWS WARS (4) who is also fitter for two runs for the new yard and now is out to a better journey. Gets chance. SAXON BEACH (2) has been knocking on the door with back-to-back placings. Overdue and should be in the finish. NATIONAL GOAL (1) is having first run in this area and has to be respected for the new yard. STAMPED (5) has had one run for the new stable and was poor but given another break so check the market.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation ran last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1200m, 10 len behind Standard Street with 57.5kg at $10. When resuming last campaign second last of 11 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on August 22 over 1312m, 9 len behind Flamboyant Lad with 57kg at $8.50. Didn't;t do a lot at first run this area but back from a break and can improve sharply.
