Alice Springs Race 3 - Leading Apprentice Lek Maloney Hcp

Hard to go past LUSKIN HERO (2) who is a five-time winner here, goes well over this course and distance, and continues to race in great heart including a five-length win here last time. Has good speed and is the one to catch. BAHAMA BAY (1) is yet to find his best figures in two runs this preparation, the latest finishing sixth over 1300m at Darwin. Back to Alice and boasts a great record this course and distance. Will strip fitter again and expect to do much better. DELAGO LAD (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1100m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. ROCK OF KRYPTONITE (4) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at this track. Can make his presence felt. REAL VALENTIA (5) rates highly on best form and can make his presence felt.
