Darwin Race 9 - Knl Fire Solutions Dash Division1
BRAVE EMBER (7) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with six wins and a placing from 11 tries. Below best last time at this track (18.66) in a OPEN, finishing a 7 length fifth. Looks suited and should go close. SCOTCH FINGER (2) was in the minors two back (18.26) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Should play a prominent role. NORTHERN LION (1) jumps from the inside draw. Last start finished 3rd over 312m at this track beaten 6 lengths (18.52) behind Nora's Boy in a Grade 3/4 on January 4. Rates a key chance on best figures. HOORAY TAY (5) is in form and worth thought again.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 312m (18.60) beating Mum's Boy in Grade 5 on January 4. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including six wins. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
