Alice Springs Race 2 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Hcp (Bm64)
EVEN SHARPER (7) gets the nod as the runner with the most appealing set-up, coming off a BM58 fourth at this track when beaten just under two lengths by Jackset and now getting valuable weight relief. The rise to BM64 is there, but he is fourth-up, comes back to 1200m and has enough depth in his recent profile to make this his race to win. PRINCESS PANCAKES (5) brings the strongest class line, dropping out of consecutive BM76 runs after finishing within just over three lengths of Magarten last start and placing behind Black Zous two back. MISS TOP GUN (4) was dominant winning a BM54 here as favourite, and her 1200m record says the extra ground is within reach, though this is a tougher assignment. YULE POINT (6) disappointed as favourite last start, but his Class 2 second to Millionaire Lover two back and strong 1200m credentials keep him right in the contest if he jumps cleanly.

Brings honest form on the one-week back-up, having run second at this track last start when near the top of betting, despite jumping awkwardly and hanging in, albeit beaten just over five lengths by Tellez. The start prior was better, third here over 1400m when beaten half a length. Worth plenty of thought.

Was too plain last start, finishing last at this track after being near the top of betting and beaten over 10 lengths by Tellez. The run prior showed what he can do, leading and beating Lean On Me in a BM54 here, and Lek Maloney has a strong record on him. Not without claims.

Managed third at this track last start, but the margin was still just over seven lengths and the late hold-up does not fully excuse the gap to Tellez. Two back he was sixth in a BM70 here, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and never threatening. Prefer others.

Comes off a decisive BM54 win at this track, scoring by just under four lengths over 1000m as favourite and beating Bodmin Boy. The class rise is the obvious test, but her 1200m record is sound and Jessie Philpot has been aboard for one win and two placings from three rides. Class rise keeps her to a top-three profile.

Drops out of BM76 company after finishing sixth at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Magarten, so the form reads better than the position suggests. She had also placed in BM76 grade behind Black Zous two starts ago after working home from the rear. Back to 1200m, she is a key winning chance.

Reaches the third run of the campaign after starting favourite at both runs back, and last start's sixth at this track was below market expectations when beaten four lengths by You'Resogolden. His second to Millionaire Lover in a Class 2 here two back is strong enough for this, especially with 1200m suiting and a 2kg claim engaged. Last-start flop as favourite is the query.

Looks well placed on the quick back-up after a close fourth in a BM58 at this track over 1400m, beaten just under two lengths by Jackset. He rises to BM64 level, but the 3kg drop from last start is valuable and the move back to 1200m suits a horse with one win and 12 placings around the trip. Back to 1200m and ready to strike.
