Darwin Race 5

SHANNON AND MATTHEW FERNS MEMORIAL DASH Division1

Prize Money: $1,475

BRITTAIN ON FIRE (5) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 6 lengths (21.85) at this track. Form reads well for this. BRAVE EMBER (8) recorded a 3.5 lengths win (17.88) in a OPEN last time at this track. Looks one of the chances. CLIVE'S CHANCE (1) finished a 4.5 lengths third last start over 312m at this track in a sharp 18.17. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. ZERO CONTROL (2) hit the frame latest (18.12) when second at this track in a OPEN. Has four wins already from this draw.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4.5 lengths third but did clock a swift 18.17 over the 312m journey. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.49) in a OPEN, finishing a 8 length fourth. Has four wins and five placings from 13 starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 383m at this track in a handy 21.85 beating Territory Life. In sparkling form and can win again.

Solid performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 312m (18.04) beating Mum Knows Best in Grade 3 on May 10. Not among the main chances this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy 17.88, beating Zero Control. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.
