Darwin Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Hcp (58)

Stake: $22,550

MIAMI VICE (1) can't be faulted on his form this year, and he hit the line strongly here 4 weeks ago over 1100m. He won't mind the drop to 1000m, and with the right run, he is the one to beat. THE STIFMEISTER (2) is building his fitness and has been runner-up in his last couple of starts here over 1200m. The drop back to 1000m is a touch concerning, but this field is not the strongest, and he can go one better. HEY LITTLE SISTER (5) had an excuse in his penultimate start and then plugged away for fifth last time out. She is capable on her day and is worth including in all combinations. FIELD OF PRAISE (4) is resuming from a spell and usually comes to hand quickly. The market will be your best guide in this field. EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (3) has only battled in her last 4 starts and benefits from a 3kg claim. She is not out of it in a field like this.

Going well. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track 0 - 58 on March 28 over 1200m, 2 len behind Starspangledancer carrying 58.5kg at $6. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Bm54 on March 7 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Straya Pride carrying 58.5kg at $8. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Useful mare. At the latest run second last in a small field at this track 0 - 58 on March 15 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Just For Marcus with 59kg at $3.20. Before that ran last of 9 at this track Bm54 on February 21 over 1000m, 7 len behind Shecanmixit with 58kg at $10. Great chance to atone.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at this track Bm54 November 16 over 1200m, 6 len behind Bryce with 57.5kg at $10. Previously first up; fourth of 9 at this track Cl2 July 31 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Adelaide Fever with 58kg at $7. Not without claims.
