Darwin Race 5 - Ranvet National Apprentice Race Series (Heat 4) Hcp (64)

HE'S ESSENTIAL (2) did not take long to find winning form after making the move from Queensland and led all the way to score by over 2 lengths here 5 weeks ago. He won't have any issue with a drop back to 1300m, and from a good draw, he can double the dose. AMERICAN JAZZ (5) had a torrid trip last start and understandably failed to run on that day. He is expected to bounce straight back into the money here. GLOBAL WONDER (6) has not won for some time but is building up his fitness with each of his 3 starts back from a spell. He drops 5kg for this and is from a good draw, he should be among the hardest to beat again. DEAR PRUDENCE (7) had no luck fresh up and needed the run as well. He has had a couple of gear changes and should finish a lot closer this time. Each-way value.

Useful type. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track 0 - 64 on February 7 over 1300m, 5 len behind Crown Waters with 59.5kg at $4.80. Before that 2nd of 7 at this track 0 - 64 on January 11 over 1300m, long-neck behind Queen In The North with 59kg at $3.90. Not a great draw again but represents a major threat.
