Alice Springs Race 4 - Ladbrokes How To Bet Hcp (76)
Very good race. BLACK ZOUS (3) is a super consistent galloper who was a winner two back then runner-up latest. Drops nicely in the weights with the claim and will go close. DELAGO LAD (1) is the main danger. Open class winner last time so coming back in grade but does jump sharply in the weights. Has the inside and will be tough to beat again. SQUARE CUT (2) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts. ZESTIMAN (5) is a former South Australian and having first start this area. Best figures stack up. EXPERT WITNESS (4) has very good early speed and will give a sight.

Racing well recently. Last start won by 0.8 len at this track Hcp March 15 over 1100m defeating Rewards And More carrying 52.5kg at $4.20.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on March 7 over 1000m, neck behind Mougenot with 57.5kg at $3.70. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track 0 - 64 February 21 over 1200m defeating Verbosity carrying 58.5kg at $3.20. Super consistent and looks weighted to go close.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Darwin 0 - 64 October 25 over 1200m, a head behind Hotim English with 58kg at $3.50. Previously first up; fourth of 12 at Darwin Cl2 June 21 over 1200m, 7 len behind Lochlorian with 60kg at $15. First try here but goes well fresh and worth keeping safe.
