Darwin Race 4

Hyland Sportswear Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,750

MERMAID SHIMMER (5) was in the minors two back (22.54) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Key runner on her best form. NON STOP WIZARD (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (18.60) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to feature again. TANAYA (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.59) at this track behind Weeona Blaze in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Leading chance. BLUE STEEL (4) deserves plenty of thought over this distance.

Hit the frame latest (22.59) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
