Darwin Race 7

ARAFURA CATERING EQUIPMENT DASH Division1

Prize Money: $1,325

TERRITORY GIRL (4) showed good early speed last start and led throughout to win for the first time by 3 lengths at this track over 312m (18.21). Rates to win again. SO NAIVE (8) finished 5 lengths away in second last start over 312m at this track but in a speedy 18.08. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. LITTLE RILEY (1) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (18.26) in a Grade 5 /MDN at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (18.53) over 312m at this track. Has the inside draw and can measure up.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3 lengths in a Maiden last start at this track, recording a handy 18.21 over the 312m journey. Hard to top on that run.

Finished third last start (18.57) over 312m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.

In the money last time at this track (18.08) in a Grade 5 /MDN, finishing a 5 length second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and nine places from 19 starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
