Darwin Race 3

Pointsbet Hcp (Bm64)

Prize Money: $23,500

MR MARRAKECH (2) is heading the right way with his form this season, and was runner-up in a 4-horse field here nearly 4 weeks ago. He has won 2 of his 3 starts third up in the past, and is nicely poised to go on better in this. IF I WAS YOU (4) did not fire in a tougher field here nearly 3 weeks ago, and is probably better over 1300m at this stage of his prep. He has the pole position, and can make amends. TIME TO BACA (5) has a good record here over this trip, and with a handy 3kg claim, she is well placed to figure in the top 3 this time. BRAZEN BON (3) has not won for some time, but has been racing as consistently as ever. He is likely to settle back, but can finish all over the top of them here. Stick with him. GALAXY GENERAL (1) absolutely bolted in at Katherine last time out, and there is no reason why he can't reproduce that performance on this circuit. Go again.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 8 len in a 0 - 58 at Katherine on August 15 over 1100m defeating Arrogant Miss with 59kg at $3.40. The start before that ran last of 7 in a 0 - 62 at this track on July 29 over 1200m, 4 len behind Cavendish with 56.5kg at $3.70. Rates highly on best form and is among the main chances.

The start before that got back early ran second last in a small field in a 0 - 64 at this track on August 29 over 1100m, 4 len behind Patriotic King carrying 58.5kg at $1.90. Not far away last time.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran last in a small field in a 0 - 64 at this track on August 29 over 1100m, 11 len behind Patriotic King carrying 59kg at $5.50. The race before that 4th of 7 in a 0 - 70 at this track on August 3 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Rivkin carrying 56.5kg at $8.50. Capable of a big run.
