Darwin Race 2

Tab Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,460

COCKATOO LODGE (8) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from three starts. Comes off a (18.25) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 /MDN over 312m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. CELSIUS (1) struggled for best form latest, finishing 6th (19.26) in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting three wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Cannot be taken lightly. EXTRA PINEAPPLE (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Ritza Duane (31.48) in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading chance. BING BING CHARM (7) placed last start as favourite and is in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.26) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Ran a better race when second behind Ritza Duane at this track last start over 537m (31.48). Likely to play a major role.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 312m at this track. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth over 312m at this track, beaten one length (18.37) behind Not Bad Yourself in a Grade 5 /MDN on October 6. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
