Darwin Race 2 - Mindil Beach Casino Resort Mdn Plate
VIERI (4) has been a beaten favourite in both of his starts here after making the move from a Sydney stable. He steps up an extra 100m this time and will be at his peak fitness. He may never pay back his million-dollar-plus price tag as a yearling, but he is surely capable of winning a maiden at short notice in this part of the world. FLY (2) was only beaten by a short-head in his first start since leaving Victoria earlier in the year. He strips fitter, and can go one better. ROSSANADO (9) is another import from Victoria, and she is having her first run in the area after a spell. She has the blinkers off for the first time, and can't be totally ruled out. A market watch is advised. GO BARNEY GO (1) has been trying to win a race for a long time. He ended his last prep with a brave effort for second when leading for a long way. He will continue to strengthen and is well worth including in all combinations. PIGEON (7) has the blinkers on for the first time. Stick with her.

Second-up. First-up after two months came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 1100m, head behind Tugela Falls carrying 58.5kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 11 over 1462m, 0.5 len behind Fitzroy Street carrying 58kg at $2.70. Progressing nicely and is sure to prove tough to beat.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 9 at Port Augusta 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 23 over 1200m, 14 len behind Mougenot with 53.5kg at $51. Previously second-up second last of 11 at Oakbank 3yo+ F&M Mdn-Sw on March 5 over 1100m, slow going 15 len behind Whoops A Daisy with 56.5kg at $151. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
