Darwin Race 7

Ladbrokes Darwin Cup H Division4

Stake: $5,292

JUNK YARD CLYDE (3) was strongly fancied last time but finished fourth (31.73) at this track, bringing a four-run winning streak to an end. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Looks the one to beat on his best form. LUKA MAGIC (8) is yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts seven wins and five placings. Scored by 5 lengths last time (17.77) in a Grade 1/2 over 312m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SIMPLE SALLY (7) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at this track over 537m behind Zipping Kimble (32.09) in a Free For All. Was in the money the start prior. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. JAY WALKING (6) has top-three aspirations after just missing last time.

Comments

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (22.30) over 383m at this track. Has a solid winning strike rate off the inside draw but will need the right run to feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 537m. Last start finished 4th over 537m at this track beaten 9 lengths (31.73) behind Zipping Kimble in a Free For All on July 20. Looks a strong winning hope.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on July 15 over 457m at Q Lakeside behind Canya Atomic beaten 0.8 lengths (25.53). Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.
