Darwin Race Track

Will be a close run race between the top picks. QUEEN IN THE NORTH last start winner at Darwin and likely to get a nice run behind the speed, among the main chances. STARSPANGLEDANCER generally races near the speed and has three placings from four runs this prep, expect to be right up there. RHESUS failed to win as a favourite last start at Darwin and gets the blinkers back on, in with a chance. ESSKAY drawn the rails, place only.

CHANGE IS COMING back from let-up and in strong form with two wins from five attempts this campaign, a close top selection. DEVILS DELIGHT led throughout for a dominant win last start at Darwin and in strong form with two wins from eight attempts this campaign, outside hope. CANADA BAY led all the way to win last start at Darwin and looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at the track, consider in exotics. SOUL SPIRIT amongst the placegetters last start running third at Darwin when first up and ran fifth at the track when last second-up, for the exotics.

Hard to split the top two selections. FORMS OF FEAR has placed in two attempts this campaign but only able to place as favourite last start at Darwin and should race on the speed, has solid claims. BRAZEN BON won last start at Darwin when fresh and Vanessa Arnott a bonus, right in this. WORLD AFFAIRS won last start at Darwin and draws to do no work, quinella. HOUSTON STAR rates highly with Wanderson D'Avila aboard and won once this prep at Darwin three runs back, strong place chance.
