Darwin Race 1 - Tab Roant Gold Cup 28 June (Bm76)
SEVEN SECRETS (2) made some solid progress after moving to Darwin, and he will be even stronger this prep. He normally needs a run to hit his straps, but as a gelding with a fair bit of scope, he can win a race like this fresh up. TANNENBURG (5) has found some form since shifting to the powerful local Gary Clarke stable, and he cost himself any winning chance by missing the kick badly here 4 weeks ago. If he makes a better beginning this time, then he will be very hard to beat. STORMFRONT (7) showed a lot of promise in Victoria and has since joined the Peter Robl Gold Coast stable, who have a very good record when trekking their team to this part of the world. Don't risk him. SUPREME ATTRACTION (1) is a durable veteran who has not won in some time, but is running his usual honest races. Include in all combinations at this level. GALAXY GENERAL (6) ran a much better race when finishing runner-up as favourite here 4 weeks ago over 1000m. The extra 300m will suit him. Each-way value.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second of 8 at this track 0 - 76 March 15 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Crown Waters with 59.5kg at $1.85. First up last campaign second in a small field at this track 0 - 64 October 26 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Patriotic King with 60kg at $4.50. Capable of a bold showing.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track 0 - 70 on May 24 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Hey Little Sister carrying 61kg at $2.60. Before that in a small field at this track Bm76 on May 10 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Flying Annie carrying 56.5kg at $3.80. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on May 21 over 1300m, neck behind Empressive Enuff with 56kg at $13. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Cranbourne Bm64 on May 2 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Mishare with 62kg at $5.50. Expected to go well again.
