Alice Springs Race 4 - Truckies Day 28th August Hcp

SQUARE CUT (4) has been freshened since racing below best last time. The start prior contested the Pioneer Sprint. Has a great record this course and distance and suited this grade. Take beating off the inside. ALTAR BOY (3) ran over the top of a few of these last time, coming from well back to score. Was coming back from a mile to 1100m and proved too strong. Will be tough to stop again despite the bigger weight. LUSKIN HERO (2) was runner-up from that race and was run over late. Has a low draw and meets the winner slightly better so will take catching again. DELAGO LAD (1) was third from that race and has claims. KING BLING (5) is next best.
