Darwin Race 3 - Tab Hcp (76)
STRUCK GOLD (3) is poised to win after placing all three outings this preparation, most recently when he gave away a start this trip. Deserves the win and peaking has strong prospects. SUNZOU (4) was on a winning run of two races but didn't have the best of it last time when supported behind Boldinho. Draws low today freshened, and is a decent chance to atone. PHAROAH MAGIC (2) showed good early speed last start before fading beaten 1.7L against the top selection. Likely to measure up again. ATLANTIC OCEAN (1) resumes and would be a hope presented forward. He deserves a betting watch. BRAZEN BON (5) is capable at best but hasn't fired this preparation. Has had a 50-day freshener, and he races well in that state.

Form hard to fault. Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at this track 0 - 76 on October 18 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Devils Delight with 57.5kg at $3.10. The race before that 2nd of 8 at this track 0 - 70 on September 26 over 1200m, nose behind Convincebility carrying 60kg at $3.50. Definite winning chance. Ready to win.
