Darwin Race 1

Ladbrokes Form Genius Hcp (64)

Prize Money: $22,000

PLAGUE STONE (2) is a durable veteran resuming from a spell and he usually races the best early in his prep. The small field will suit him and he has to be respected in this company. TONIX (3) ruined his chances by making a slow start here a fortnight ago and tailed the field home. He is better than that and is worth another chance. HAZELWOOD (5) is another who walked out of the barriers here last time out and finished at the rear of the field. He may still be a maiden but can't be totally ruled out of a top 3 finish in this field. HEY LITTLE SISTER (4) will be at her peak fitness and starts from the pole position. She gets her best chance to improve her track stats in this.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran last in a small field at this track Bm54 on January 11 over 1000m, 6 len behind Lord Fenrir with 60kg at $11. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 29 over 1300m, 10 len behind Gift Of Gold carrying 57kg at $6. Rates highly and should do much better.

Last start ran last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1300m, 8 len behind Carat Time carrying 59kg at $6.50. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 28 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Ribtickler with 59kg at $13. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
