Good early pressure with Grinzinger Bishop or Venting likely to take up the running. Going with the Alice Springs Cup as the lead-up form. VENTING (1) won this last year when well fancied and led throughout to score by a space. Comes into this off a disappointing run in the Alice Cup but on the quick back-up and gets a chance to atone. GRINZINGER BISHOP (4) also ran in the Alice Springs Cup and ran well for fifth. Looks well placed in this as the main danger. THE GIRL'S BOY (3) ran on well to score over 1400m latest and has form at the mile. One of the chances. ALTAR BOY (2) is a veteran galloper strong at the journey and rates one of the chances. FIGO THE GREAT (6) is racing well including a 2000m win last time and will be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Venting.
