GOING: G

Alice Springs Toyota Handicap 1100m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 39)   Rail: True.  

Tellez should lead at a slick tempo. ROCK OF KRYPTONITE (2) was a winner two back at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1000m here, beaten only 0.7 lengths. Record at this circuit is strong and rates a leading contender. The well-related FLYING START (1) (half to 2xG2 winner Pure Elation) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1200m at this course. Has his share of talent and will be hard to beat again in this suitable race. PRINCESS PANCAKES (4) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by half a length over 1200m here last time. Solid winning hope. MAGIC DEFENSE (3) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1600m at this venue, beaten 5 lengths. Has a solid record here including four wins and three minor placings from 10 outings. One of the main contenders. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Rock Of Kryptonite.
