Darwin Race 5

Winning Edge Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,475

LUKA MAGIC (4) is a progressive type who recorded his 28th career win last time out (17.85) at this track. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Can continue on his winning ways. ASTON MYSTIC (1) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (18.15) at this track. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Well-placed to take this out. BRITTAIN ON FIRE (7) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with nine wins and a placing from 11 tries. Hit the frame latest (17.97) when second at this track in a Grade 1/2. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. WILLOW'S WITCH (8) was beaten into fourth last time but ran impressive time with a solid 18.26. Worth thought on that run.

Placed last time (18.15) at this track in a Grade 1/2, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in nine runs from this box, including four wins. Key chance and should go close.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy (18.29), beating Sportster. Will find this a bit tougher, shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 312m in 17.85 last start, beating Brittain On Fire. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished 4th on February 1 over 312m at this track behind Luka Magic beaten 6 lengths (18.26) in a Grade 1/2. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 8, scoring two times. Among the chances.
