Darwin Race 5

Bendigo Bank Coolalinga Hcp

Prize Money: $25,500

BOLDINHO (2) has been in good form since making the move from Queensland, and was only beaten by a short-head here 2 weeks ago over 1000m. The extra furlong is ideal, and with 3.5kg less to carry, he is the one to beat this time. GREAT BUY (1) has been well beaten in a couple of strong fields over a mile recently. He is 6 weeks between runs, and drops back to a suitable 1200m here. Stick with him. DEVILS DELIGHT (3) has been racing well this prep, and though he can mix his runs a touch, he will be very competitive with only 52kg to carry this time. Go again. SHAKATTAK (4) has needed all of his 3 starts back from a spell, and his recent freshen up would have done him no harm. In a small field, he deserves respect. BEAU FACTOR (5) seldom runs a bad race, and he was running on late for third in a 4-horse field here 2 weeks ago. He has 4.5kg less to carry this time, and can run into the top 3 again.
