Darwin Race 3

Tab Hcp (64)

Prize Money: $21,300

KESSLER (3) resumes and delivered the hat-trick in a 58 before the break. The speedy galloper goes well enough fresh, and this is winnable if he's presented on song. LA BOQUERIA (5) led and won a 54 comfortably first up over this distance. She's come back much improved and will use the inside barrier. She's been freshened, and the in-form McGuren stays aboard. A player. OAKLAND RAIDER (4) has the ability and has also been freshened up. He was outgraded last time, but his easy CL2 win three back stacks right up. A much-improved effort is likely. CANTON KID (1) resumes and is proven fresh. He's been racing in stronger and should be around the mark.
