Alice Springs Race 5 - Great Northern St Patrick's Day Cup (Bm76)

Even race where the Petrick stable has a stranglehold with three leading chances. MATRON SAMSING (5) perhaps has the most upside of these. Easy winner course and distance last time and drops in weight. Building a strong record here and is worth following up. Stablemate MAGIC DEFENSE (2) has slightly better figures but over shorter distances. Yet to win at the mile but comes into this off an effortless 1400m win and won't get a better chance to stretch the form to a mile. The third Patrick runner is PRINCESS PANCAKES (3)who is rarely far away. Placed last time behind Alter Boy but was an easy winner the start prior. Honest record at the mile and will take catching. DUTY (6) is fitter and can improve sharply with the lighter weight. ALTAR BOY (1) has a great record course and distance and can atone.
