Darwin Race 4

Shannon And Matthew Ferns Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,900

BULL'S CHANCE (2) was a last start winner (32.00) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Has a good record here including three wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Form reads well for this. SLIPPERY WITCH (3) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (22.31) in a Grade 3/4 over 383m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. SO NAIVE (8) was below best last time but the start prior was a Free For All winner in the quickest time on the card at this track over 383m in a Free For All. Well placed here and can atone this time. ZELDA CHAOS (1) warrants respect with the drop in distance.

Good performance to win by one length at this track over 537m (32.00) beating Cuff Model in Grade 4/5/MDN on May 4. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.75 lengths over 383m at this track in a handy 22.31, beating Nora's Boy. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Won two starts back at this track over 383m in 22.15. Followed that up with a minor placing over 383m at this track at Best 8 a week ago. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.17) in a Best 8, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 6. Tough field and looking to others this time.
