Darwin Race 5

Old Mates Bakery Dash Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

RITZA DUANE (2) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (31.77) at this track. Has a strong record here including five wins. Top chance in this line up. LANGLEY (7) shapes well for this backing up an outstanding 18.04 win with success at this track over 383m last time, recording 22.59. Flying lately and shapes as a definite danger again. OUR GIRL FRANKY (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Below best last time at this track (32.17) in a OPEN, finishing a 8 length sixth. Can feature with the right run. ENIGMA GO (3) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Sure to run well again.

Missed the frame latest (32.17) when sixth over 537m at this track in a OPEN. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 2.5 lengths third over 537m this track in 31.77. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 21.92. Top chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy (18.06), beating Infamous. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 383m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.61 beating Thurkettle over 383m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished eighth over 537m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Needs to find a bit more.
