Darwin Race 6

Chief Ministers July Plate F Division1

Prize Money: $4,900

SLICK CHANCE (4) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 12 of 32 starts runs and has won two of last three, the latest winning (31.36) over 537m at this track. Goes very well here finding the frame in each of five starts. Well placed here and can go close with a clear run. STOCKMAN GEORGE (2) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 383m at this track in 22.21. Expecting another bold showing. RESILIENT (3) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 383m at this track, taking a OPEN in a speedy 22.25. Expected to feature on best figures. DANIEL SPARKLES (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Finished sixth (32.22) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded six minor placings in a row. Drawn out wide and needs to find best form to feature.
