Darwin Race 8

Btc Constructions Dash Division1

Stake: $1,528

STAN'S DREAM (4) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 4 length win at this track in a handy 18.33. Has a tricky draw to overcome but has the ability and in winning form. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again. INFAMOUS (7) was in the minors two back (22.21) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Can figure in the finish. BLUE STEEL (2) sizzled around 312m in 18.13 when winning a Grade 4/5 at this track last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. TOPOLOGY MAN (5) must be respected as a past winner at this course and distance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 312m in 18.49. Followed that up with a minor placing over 312m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. In the money last time but this is a stern test.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy (18.13), beating Slept In Again. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Finished off last campaign with a GR 5 win in 18.33 at this track four months ago. Has started fresh up two times for a win and a placing. Makes plenty of appeal fresh.

Was out of placings last time (22.70) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has three successes and four minors from nine starts from box 7. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (18.40) over 312m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.
