Alice Springs Racecourse horse racing tips and form preview

Alice Springs Horse Racing Tips Fri 28/8/26

Ray Viney has a couple getting plenty of attention across this Alice Springs card. Tango Stepz is the one that caught the eye in race 2, backed from $11 into $8.50 off a last start win, and Highstrung has won his last two for the same yard in race 4, though the market has eased him a touch to $2.90. Small fields all day, averaging about six a race, so the form on offer is well exposed and there is not much hiding. Lean On Me is worth another look in race 3 after firming from $9.50 into $6.50, and Delago Lad goes into the Cummins Cup with three wins already this prep. Good track, sunny, no rain about to muddy the read. Selections drop here around 10am race morning once the markets firm.
