Without a recognised leader, Highstrung and Startyourengine will likely set the pace. OUR SQUAMOSA (3) was safely held in three runs in Darwin recently but returns to Alice and boasts a good record here. Well worth another chance. HIGHSTRUNG (1) was sent out favourite last time and got off the mark with a maiden win. Skips a grade but well weighted with the claim and will take catching g again. RIVERINA WALTZ (2) finished 3.4 lengths back from the winner last start at this track and is down in weight this time. Capable of going close on best figures. EPIC JEWEL (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1300m at Darwin. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. STARTYOURENGINE (4) is still a maiden but close to a win and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Squamosa can improve.
