Arafura Catering Equipment Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,460

HOORAY CARTER (1) was below best last time at this track (18.35) in a OPEN, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks the one to beat with even luck. LANGLEY (2) goes very well this trip starting nine times for three wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (22.69) in a Free For All, finishing a 8 length sixth. Looks one of the chances. TERRITORY GIRL (4) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 312m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again. TERRITORY TUFF (5) was out of placings last time (23.24) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths. Already a winner from this draw.

Missed the frame latest (18.35) when fourth over 312m at this track in a OPEN. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from five starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Last start finished 6th on August 25 over 383m at this track behind Bing Bing Slayer beaten 8 lengths (22.69) in a Free For All. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 312m at this track in a handy (18.10), beating Zara's Secret. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished last on September 1 over 383m at this track behind Canya Negotiate beaten 10 lengths (23.24) in a Grade 4/5. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Won two starts back at this track over 312m in 18.33. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 383m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, hard to envisage a win.
