Darwin Race 3

Winning Edge Dash Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

MERMAID SHIMMER (1) could manage only third at this track last time but turned heads when posting a strong 22.25 over 383m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. TERRITORY TUFF (8) was a course and distance winner (22.31) last time also from the same draw, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Harder here but expected to feature again. SO NAIVE (7) was below best last time when fourth at this track but three back was a Grade 4/5 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track. Can feature with the right run. ENIGMA GO (3) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.75 lengths in 18.46, beating Little Nifty. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 /MDN on July 26 over 383m at this track behind Bart's Chance beaten 14 lengths (23.62). Happy enough to avoid.
