Darwin Race 10

Btc Constructions Dash Division2

Prize Money: $1,925

TERRITORY TUFF (8) finished second (22.75) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from three starts. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. CROSSWIRED (1) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (32.35) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. CLIVE'S CHANCE (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (18.20) at this track behind Stan's Dream in a Grade 1/2. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up. MERMAID SHIMMER (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing sixth (23.31) at this track last start. Has a solid record off the draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 383m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.
