Prize Money: $73,800

CHARLES DARWIN (1) can make it two wins from three starts following impressive 5.5L maiden success at Navan. Concedes a weight penalty. Extremely difficult to oppose. SPRING IS HERE (6) showed promise when beaten 2.5L at the Curragh. May improve and is the biggest danger to the favourite. SIR ALFIE (4) rates a nicely bred debutant. Each way hope first up. FRESH FADE (2) is worth a market check for shrewd connections.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 7 at Curragh on April 12 over 1005m, 1.3 len behind Stop The Nation with 59.5kg at $1.70. Last start favourite; scored a big 5.5 len win at Navan April 26 over 1207m on a rain affected track defeating Harmani carrying 60.5kg at $1.70. Sure to measure up.

Was at big odds at debut, 4th in a small field at Curragh in LR on May 5 over 1005m, 2.5 len behind Lady Iman carrying 57kg at $26. Will be better for that experience and looks very hard to beat.
