Alice Springs Race 5

Alice Springs Toyota (Bm64)

Stake: $26,460

ALTAR BOY (4) needed his first run in the area 3 starts back after making the move from Queensland and since then he has won 2 on the bounce. He won't find this assignment much harder and can complete a hat-trick of wins. VALLEY PRINCE (5) is a very tough customer who is never far away from the action. He was runner-up as favourite last time out and drops 5.5 kilos in weight from that run. He is always an each-way chance at this level. Follow your money. CASTLEREAGH KID (1) has needed both of his runs back from a long spell and should be nearing his full fitness. He has had some gear changes and would be too good for this lot if he was at his best. Stick with him. DUTY (3) just battled fresh up and he usually improves quickly with racing. He strips fitter and is capable of a top 3 finish in this line-up.
