Darwin Race 1 - Mindil Beach Casino Resort Hcp (66)
HE'S ESSENTIAL (3) is nearing his peak fitness and was third as favourite here 3 weeks ago in a similar field. He has won his only start over a mile and is poised to take this out. Follow your money. EDDY STREET (1) was running on late for third here second up from a spell in a tougher grade 3 weeks ago. He is having his third local start since making the move from Victoria, and his next win is not far away. YAKI ISHI (4) settled back from a wide gate last week and was doing his best work late that day. He tries a mile for the first time and can figure in the top 3. EQUAL BALANCE (2) is a durable veteran who was third here over 1300m a week ago. The winkers are on for the first time in his 95th start, and he can't be ignored. FABERGE TZAR (6) can be hard to catch but has won twice here over a mile. Include in all combinations to be safe.
