Darwin Race 4 - Ladbrokes Summer Sprint Series (Heat 1) (Bm76)

POLARISING (6) had no luck off a wide trip here 3 weeks ago and it is a run that is best overlooked. She was an easy winner before that and is capable of bouncing back into the money immediately. SHAKATTAK (2) has thrived since joining the top local Gary Clarke stable and has been placed twice since putting together a hat-trick of wins. He can secure a run to suit from the pole position and will be among the hardest to beat. DOC O'CONNOR (1) is resuming from a spell and has won half of his 8 starts fresh up in the past. The small field will suit him, and he can't be ruled out of winning this. CRAZY BRAVE (4) is an ex-Queensland gelding making his local debut. Watch closely in the small field.

Useful type. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track Bm76 on December 14 over 1200m, 5 len behind Mr Cashman with 55kg at $5.50. The race before that scored a big 3.5 len win at this track 0 - 64 November 29 over 1200m defeating Tricky Mikki carrying 57.5kg at $4. Capable of sharp improvement.
