Darwin Race 3

Btc Constructions Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,340

BERNARDO'S BABY (5) was in traffic last time here and failed to finish. Has the ability and looks a key chance. QUICK SHADOW (1) could manage only fourth at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a slick 18.21 over 312m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and can find winning form again. SYDNEY SURCHARGE (7) is in top form lately including an enormous win at this track in 18.06 two back then backing it up with a 22.49 victory at this track over 383m latest. Has the ability and can measure up again. FLIP YOUR FIFTY (4) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.44) in a Grade 1/2, finishing a 4 length fourth. Box stats strong with eight wins and seven placings from 18 starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Hit the frame latest (18.35) when third at this track in a Grade 3. Goes very well off the draw boasting five wins and three places from nine starts. Others rate better this time.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 17.99, beating Hyper Viper. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 1/2 on August 17 over 312m at this track behind Luka Magic beaten 4.5 lengths (18.46). Is a danger.

Is back from a ten weeks break after failing to finish last time at this track but was a Grade 1/2 winner (18.23) here the start prior. Rates a top chance on best and should go close here fresh.
