Darwin Race 8

ARAFURA CATERING EQUIPMENT DASH Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

GO JO (1) ran right away with it after running them ragged to make it two in a row, scoring at this track over 383m (22.63). Hard to fault her form and she makes plenty of appeal. BRAVE EMBER (8) in the money last time at this track (22.33) in a OPEN, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Among the main chances. NORA'S BOY (2) boasts a consistent overall record including 29 wins from 134 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (22.72) over 383m at this track. Solid record at the distance winning 19 races. Looks suited and expected to run well. FLIP YOUR FIFTY (6) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Was a dominant winner after running them ragged to make it two on the trot at this track over 383m (22.63). Looks suited and should go close again.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Brittain On Fire over 312m. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths second at this track but did record a solid 22.33 over the 383m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
