Darwin Race 6

Asian-United Food Service Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,340

BERNARDO'S BABY (5) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fifth (23.93) at this track over 383m. Solid record here winning 10 races. Is yet to taste defeat in four starts from this draw. Can bounce back. BRAVE EMBER (2) below best last time at this track (22.66) in a Free For All, finishing a 9 length fourth. Can feature in the finish. LUCY'S CHANCE (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and four minors from nine tries. Was out of the placings last time (22.64) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Can feature in the finish. QUEEN'S GAMBLE (4) must be respected as a past winner at this course and distance.

Scored by a neck last time (16.82) in a Mix 5 over 300m at Q Straight. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from seven starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 4th in a Free For All on August 31 over 383m at this track behind Bull's Chance beaten 9 lengths (22.66). Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.
