AU - Alice Springs - Race 2

STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 7f at this track. Racing well and looks tough to beat this shorter distance. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (4) ran below expectations last time at this track over 7f, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. TANGO STEPZ (5) returned from a three-month break over 5 ½f last start and got the job done by a neck at this track. Has seven wins here at her home track. Can measure up again. EXCUSES EXCUSES (3) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 6f at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects. RIVER FROST (2) has confidence back and another bold showing is expected.
