Darwin Race 2

Asian United Food Service Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,460

COCKATOO LODGE (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from five tries. Placed last time (18.43) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. ESCAPING TIME (1) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at Cannington over 381m behind Super Pit (22.79) in a Novice race. Placed at her previous run. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and can atone. BEAR'S HEAD (2) is an honest type in the frame at 17 of 39 starts including nine wins, the latest scoring (17.84) over 312m at this track. Goes very well from this box. Looks suited and expected to run well.

Was in commission but ran below her best last start when fifth (22.79) over 381m at Cannington. Jumped from out wide latest but draws the inside for this. Previous form sound and worth another chance.

Dominant winner to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a scintillating 17.84 for the 312m journey. Expected to feature if runs up to that effort.
