Darwin Race 3

Winning Edge Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,925

CONTROL BUBBA (8) recorded two placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 5 lengths (22.36) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. ENIGMA GO (7) is a handy type who notched his 3rd career success when too good (18.17) from Box 4 at this track. Can measure up again. FEED THE FLAMES (1) is suited by the inside draw. Last start finished 3rd over 537m at this track beaten 7 lengths (32.09) behind Here Comes Blue in a Grade 4/5 on January 4. Looks suited here and can measure up. ONTARIO (2) must be respected at her pet track and distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.84) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Box stats strong with five wins and three placings from 10 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 4 last start at this track, recording a respectable 18.17 over the 312m journey. In form and rates on top again.
