Darwin Race 5

Sky Racing Dash Division1

Stake: $1,296

MUM KNOWS BEST (8) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from eight starts. Was out of the placings last time (18.46) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 11 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. CHIEF COSTA (7) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (18.44) in a Grade 5 /MDN at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to be in this for a long way. ROOSTER JAZZ (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (18.49), beaten 2 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Expected to feature in the finish. SPORTSTER (5) is one of the chances after a minor prize from this draw last time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 383m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (18.36) over 312m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (18.46) over 312m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 312m. Last start finished 2nd on July 6 over 312m at this track behind Cheers Mick beaten 4 lengths (18.44) in a Grade 5 /MDN. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Missed the frame latest (18.46) when fourth over 312m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
