Darwin Race 3

Silks Sunday Carvery (Bm76)

Stake: $25,272

GALAXY GENERAL (5) led all the way to score at the Gold Coast on their poly track 5 weeks ago, and that sort of form should stack up on this surface as well. He joins the leading local Gary Clarke stable and can double the dose. BON'S PRIDE (1) did not miss a cheque last prep and won 3 of his 7 starts. He may not have won fresh up in the past, but has been placed in 3 of his 4 starts when presented in that condition. Hard to beat. RISING SPHERE (2) is a very capable gelding second up from a spell. He can build quickly on his fresh-up effort when finishing runner-up, and with a formidable record over the trip, he will be hard to hold out. SIAKAM (3) is a durable gelding who was a game runner-up in a 4-horse field last time out and had an excuse in his run before that. Stick with him. MR HAVE A CHAT (4) is always a chance whenever he lines up. Include in all combinations.

Going well. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track Bm76 on March 28 over 1100m, 2 len behind Siakam with 56kg at $3. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track 0 - 70 March 15 over 1100m defeating Convincebility carrying 59kg at $3.60. Can win on his best form.
