Darwin Race 5

Sign City Dash Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

STAN'S DREAM (4) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 18.13 in a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 312m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with seven wins and four minor placings from 13 starts. Can continue the winning form. SLICK CHANCE (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.15) last time out at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Leading player again. BEAR THE BRUNT (6) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and 11 placings from 24 starts. Recorded a nose win (22.14) in a Grade 2/3 last time at this track. Can feature in the finish. SLIPPERY WITCH (1) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 18.50, beating Clive's Chance. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 2/3 on June 7 over 383m at this track behind Bear The Brunt beaten 4.5 lengths (22.46). Is a danger.

Hit the frame latest (22.15) when second at this track in a Grade 2/3. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Looks well placed and should feature.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 312m in 18.13 last start, beating Lucy's Chance. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 21.73. Top chance.

Won his last two including a narrow win last start over 383m at this track by a nose in a Grade 2/3. In line for a hat-trick. Must include.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 383m in 22.15. Followed that up with a minor placing over 383m at this track at Grade 2/3 a week ago. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
