Darwin Race 2 - Old Mates Bakery Dash Division1
BRAVE EMBER (6) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 21.96 to score two back then following on with a 21.91 win over 383m at this track. Rates a top chance again if runs up to recent form. ENIGMA GO (8) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (22.56), beaten 9 lengths. Finished second the start before. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. ZELDA CHAOS (1) scored by a space in one of the fastest times of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (22.74). One of the main contenders. THURKETTLE (2) comes off a (22.25) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 3/4 over 383m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 383m at this track in a handy (22.25), beating Bastianini. Looks a solid hope.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 383m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.27 beating Tropical Ethics over 400m at Maitland. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on October 13 over 383m at this track behind Brave Ember beaten 9 lengths (22.56) in a OPEN. Placed two back at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.
