Alice Springs Race 8 - The Cabinet Shop Tradies Day 11Th April Free Entry Hcp

Great race to end the card. MAGIC DEFENSE (3) has never won at the mile but deserves one after some top recent form. Has won two of last three and is weighted to go forward and take beating again. GRINZINGER BISHOP (4) was safely held in the Strathalbyn Cup last time bit given a let-up since. Has a good record this circuit and brilliant early pace. Will give a sight. THE GIRL'S BOY (2) found winning form third-up over 1400m and should be at peak. Placed only try course and distance and can measure up again. IKNOWHATYOUREDOING (5) is fitter for a good return after a long spell. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt. ALTAR BOY (1) wasn't far from the winner last time and has a great record course and distance.

Comes here off a 62-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 13 at Strathalbyn Sbyn Cup on February 1 over 2050m, 14 len behind Kirkliston Blu with 54kg at $81. The race before that 5th of 8 at Murray Bridge Bm78 on January 17 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Crimson Vine with 55.5kg at $21. Has a good record here and back from a let-up will go close this company.

Second run back. First-up after eight months got back early in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on March 21 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind The Girl's Boy carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at this track 0 - 70 on March 22 2025 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Better Not Fuss carrying 55.5kg at $6. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.
