Darwin Race 10

Sky Racing Dash Division1

Stake: $1,487

OMAR MONELLI (4) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage fifth (22.70) at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Deserves plenty of respect. NORA'S BOY (8) is looking to continue his winning ways off a good 22.34 victory in a Grade 3/4 at this track. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. WAR ADMIRAL (1) was in the money last start here at this trip - likely to feature again.

In the money last time at this track (18.18) in a Grade 3, finishing a 2 length second. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. Will need the right run.

Back from a spell of five months. Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 383m. Last start finished 5th on October 6 over 383m at this track behind River Rough beaten 9 lengths (22.70) in a OPEN. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
