Darwin Race 7

Winning Edge Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,325

DANIEL SPARKLES (2) goes very well this trip starting five times for two wins and two minors. Recorded a nose win (18.28) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. INFAMOUS (1) beaten last start over the 312m at this track but finished in the minors in a solid 18.22. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. BING BING CHARM (7) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths (18.45) behind Honest Jan at this track. Can feature again. TEN A PENNY (8) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Placed last time (18.35) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing second and beaten a neck. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from four starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.
