Darwin Race 6

Arafura Catering Equipment Dash Division1

Stake: $2,052

SOCKS LA LA (1) was sent out big odds last time but scored an upset win in a OPEN at this track (18.40). Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Ideally placed to take this out. HYPER VIPER (8) could not have been more impressive last start in her a head turning 22.22 win at this track over 383m. Expecting another bold showing. WOLF MAN (6) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a second place finish (22.29) there the start prior. Has a good record here at this journey. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Shapes as one to consider. GO JO (2) form at this distance reads well.

Strong performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 312m (18.40) beating Quick Shadow in OPEN on May 25. Looks the one to beat again.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.58) in a Grade 2/3, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (22.52) over 383m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 22.29 over 383m finishing second at this track. Worth including on run two back.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 383m in 22.22. Can make it two on the bounce.
