Darwin Race 5

Sign City Dash Division1

Stake: $2,038

ZERO CONTROL (4) Handy enough when winning last time at this venue and solid performer at this distance in the past. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Should go close. BRAVE EMBER (7) Finished 5th last start at this venue. Looking past the last run and strong form at this trip. Going well this campaign but back to a shorter trip. Respect against this field. BEAR THE BRUNT (8) Tidy effort when 2nd last run around here and drawn nicely. Tracking very well this preparation. Deserves consideration. STAN'S DREAM (2) Looked good when 3rd last run at this venue and have to respect the form at the distance. Should race on the speed. Has to be included.

At $10.00 not in contention when 5th last time at the track but can save some energy from the box. Has a nice turn of foot. Respect the betting.

Showed promise when winning last time at the track and suited at this trip historically. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 starts. Should muster plenty of early toe. Expecting a solid performance.

At $2.80 ran 5th last start here. Looking past the last run and hard to fault at the distance. Racing consistently this prep but down in distance. Will go close.
