Darwin Race 8

Farewell Dave Davies Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,460

SON OF MINYA (1) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (18.47) behind Perpetuus at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. One of the contenders. MUM KNOWS BEST (2) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (18.36) in a Grade 5 /MDN at this track. Expected to do much better this time. CHEERS MICK (6) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (18.53) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Will give a great sight again. LITTLE NIFTY (4) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

In the money last time at this track (18.47) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Was out of placings last time (18.76) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has two successes and four minors from 11 starts from box 2. Looks suited and should go close.

Last start failed to finish the race over 383m at this track on September 1. Generally about the mark but predicted to struggle on this occasion.
