Alice Springs   30 Mar 2024
 
GOING: G

AN Electrical Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Should be plenty of pressure on from the jump. DUTY (6) won 2 races on the bounce before finishing fourth last time out in a tougher field after being well-found in the markets. He is unbeaten here in a couple of starts over the mile and back in this company, he can make an immediate return to the winners' circle. MAGNOLIA ROSE (7) has had a freshen-up since a battling effort for fourth here in a 5-horse field 5 weeks ago. She is back in class and only needs a touch of luck from a wide gate to be back in the money again over what is her pet trip of a mile. Stick with her on an each-way basis. TIARA JEWEL (9) had her first run for the Gary Clarke stable here 3 weeks ago after making the move from South Australia. Her trainer has great success with similar types and this mare can improve sharply second up in the area. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tiara Jewel each way.
