Alice Springs Race 5 - A-One Mechanics Hcp (Bm64)

Small field but plenty chances. Most come through the Scissor Me Timbers race where STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (4) was runner-up. Raced on speed and was grabbed late. Continues to race well and will take catching again. RIVER FROST (3) came through the same race and kept coming, working home strongly into third. Will stalk the pace again and prove tough to hold out. EXCUSES EXCUSES (1) was resuming in the same race and off a long break. Finished fifth but will strip fitter and has form second-up. Can improve sharply. OKESUTORA (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Back in trip and will wind up late. BONNY IMPACT (6) has been racing well and is next best.
