Darwin Race 4

Arafura Catering Equipment Dash Division1

Stake: $1,711

NORTHERN LION (8) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his sharp 18.23 win at this track over 312m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. TERRITORY ROSE (2) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can hit the frame this time. HOORAY CARTER (1) boasts a consistent overall record including three wins from 14 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (18.56) over 312m at this track. Goes well from this draw. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. MUM KNOWS BEST (5) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.
