Darwin Race 5

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots Dash Division1

Stake: $1,528

LUKA MAGIC (1) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Was too tough when scoring last time over 312m at this track in a OPEN (17.75). Strike rate this course and distance strong having won 11 of 13 tries. Form reads well for this. FLIP YOUR FIFTY (2) was a dazzling 17.81 winner of a OPEN at this track over 312m last start. Should be in this for a long way. WOLF MAN (4) goes very well this course and distance starting 15 times for eight wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (22.44) in a OPEN, finishing a 3.5 lengths sixth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BLUE MARGUERITE (5) form at this course and distance reads well.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a OPEN last start at this track, recording a scintillating 17.75 for the 312m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (22.69) at this track. Has a solid record off the tricky draw but prefer the place this line-up.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (18.35) over 312m at this track. Jumps from the outside. Prefer others.
