Darwin Race 8

Cub Dash Division1

Stake: $2,776

SLICK CHANCE (6) comes here following a sizzling win over 537m at this track in 31.27. In form and can measure up again. THURKETTLE (3) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (22.80) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has first look at box 3 this time. Has a good record here including two wins. Winning chance. EVEN BACKWARDS (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (18.50) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can find the frame this time. MERMAID SHIMMER (2) looks an each-way chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 383m at this track in a handy (22.34), beating Zelda Chaos. Will find this a bit tougher, others favoured this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 537m in 31.27 last start, beating Bing Bing Slayer. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with her.

Won two starts back won at this course over 383m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when he finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on September 15 over 383m at this track behind Here Comes Foxy beaten 1.5 lengths (22.44). Prefer to watch at this stage.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 383m at this track in a handy (22.62), beating Extra Pineapple. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to tip with any confidence.
