Darwin Race 6

Hyland Sportswear Dash Division2

Stake: $1,825

COCKATOO LODGE (8) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run around here and drawn nicely. Won't be far away during the run. Showing good ability since returning from a spell. Looks promising. MERMAID SHIMMER (2) Finished on top last run here but will be down in distance. Can go through the gears. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Better hope. DIRTY DANCING (4) Right up there last run at this track. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. BORDER BRAWLER (6) Unsatisfactory performance when 5th last run at the track. Likely to fill a place.

Chimed in with a win last run at this track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will be hitting the line strongly. Down in distance. Major chance.
