Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Thursday at 11:03 PM Journalists Share Posted Thursday at 11:03 PM What Alice Springs Races Where Pioneer Park Racecourse – Stuart Hwy, Connellan NT 0870 When Saturday, November 23, 2024 First Race 2:17pm ACST Visit Dabble It’s the off-season, but the Alice Springs Turf Club continues to attract good numbers, with 57 horses accepting for a highly competitive six-race meeting on Saturday. It’s been hot and sunny all week; however, showers and a possible storm with a top temperature of 38C is the forecast for Saturday. Pioneer Park will be a dry dirt surface and the rail will be in the true position. BEST BET AT ALICE SPRINGS: O’Tycoon O’Tycoon, a former Sydneysider, debuted in the Alice on October 6 and has impressed in 0-70 grade. He wasn’t far off the pace first up over 1100m before tiring over the final 100m to finish fifth. The five-year-old gelding rattled home from the back three weeks ago to finish a narrow second over 1200m. Sharing the lead over 1100m a fortnight ago, the son of Written Tycoon kicked clear at the 500m to win by 4.5 lengths. He drops 3.5kg and from barrier two, O’Tycoon is a serious threat. Best Bet Race 1 – #3 O’Tycoon (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Lisa Whittle | J: Sonja Logan (57kg) Bet with BlondeBet NEXT BEST AT ALICE SPRINGS: Floral Code Floral Code had done little wrong before fading to finish sixth over 1200m at 0-66 level on November 2. The former Queenslander was fifth on his NT debut against Class 2 over 1200m in late June before the four-year-old gelding found his mojo against similar opposition. Two seconds and a fourth was followed by a comprehensive win by five lengths over 1100m on October 27. Floral Code is worthy of another chance, and a 3kg claim helps. Next Best Race 4 – #4 Floral Code (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Terry Gillett | J: Olivia Kendal (a3) (59kg) Bet with Neds BEST VALUE AT ALICE SPRINGS: Nasha Nasha hasn’t won in nine Red Centre starts, but the six-year-old mare came close three weeks ago when finishing second over 1400m in 0-64 grade. Last in the six-horse field, the daughter of Vancouver powered home and was half a length adrift of the winner. That followed two fourths over 1400m at BM54 and 0-58 level after returning from a five-month spell in September. The extra 200m and 55kg could help get the former Queenslander over the line at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 6 – #3 Nasha (5) 6yo Mare | T: Barry Cooke | J: Paul Denton (55kg) Bet with Unibet Alice Springs Saturday quaddie tips – 23/11/2024 Fannie Bay quadrella selections Saturday, November 23, 2024 1-2-3-4 3-4-6 1-2-3-5 1-2-3 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
