Alice Springs Race 5 - Colemans Printing (Bm76)

ACTIVE DUTY (1) is having his first run this area since winning by a long neck seven weeks ago over 2000m at Colac. Has transferred to the Dick Leech stable over the let-up. Has early speed and will go close despite coming back in trip. MAGIC DEFENSE (3) is the main danger. Registered a strong win at this track two runs ago then third over a mile here latest, beaten a neck. Great record course and distance and expected to be very competitive. PRINCESS PANCAKES (4) is a locally trained mare who sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a long neck away in fourth over 1600m at this track. Terrific chance with the light weight off the inside. FLYING START (5) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1600m at this track. Has never won but placed 6/10 course and distance and is worth including. VENTING (2) is well weighed and looks a top three prospect on best form.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track Bm76 on March 15 over 1600m, long-neck behind Matron Samsing carrying 54kg at $11. The race before that eased back early on second last in a small field at this track Bm76 on February 21 over 1400m, 7 len behind Altar Boy carrying 53kg at $4.20. Terrific chance with the light weight off the inside.
