Darwin Race 3

Sba Office National Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,925

COURAGOUS LIL (8) jumped cleanly from the low draw last start to lead all the way (18.40) at this track in a Grade 5 over 312m. Hard to go past. FIREBALL ERNIE (1) is suited by the inside draw. Last start finished 5th over 383m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (22.67) behind Extra Pineapple in a Grade 5 on July 12. Can feature in the finish. SILVERSMITH (2) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 312m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a superb 18.09. Expected to feature on best figures. SO NAIVE (7) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.
