Darwin Race 7

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Dash Division1

Stake: $1,332

SAMURAI MIND (2) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 537m behind Ace's Chance (32.05) in a Free For All. Goes very well from this draw with nine wins and two minor placings from 21 starts. Has ability and looks hard to stop. HERE COMES FOXY (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (22.62) from Box 2 at this track over 383m. Key runner on best form. POLLINATE (8) stuck on well last time to finish half a length back in second (18.27) at this track in a Grade 4 over 312m. Racing well and deserves a win. WAR ADMIRAL (7) is worth including.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths fourth (22.62) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (32.05) in a Free For All, finishing a 9 length fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting nine wins and two places from 21 starts. Leading player.
