Darwin Race 7 - Darwin Cup We're All In! Hcp (58)
FRANKFURT (1) is now heading the right way with his form, and he chased hard all the way over 1200m when finishing runner-up here 4 weeks ago. He can plant himself right on the pace over a mile, and he is the one to beat this time. DANGER MAN (3) has raced his way into form and won't lack fitness on a 7-day backup. If he can secure some cover from a tricky gate early on, then he will be right in the finish again. VIERI (2) is still a maiden, but he does have some upside as a million-dollar-plus yearling taking his time to mature. The key here is the step up to a mile for the first time, and he would not be a shock winner racing out of his grade here. FABERGE TZAR (5) has been battling on wet tracks further South in 3 starts this prep. He has won on this track in the past, and with the advantage of the pole position, a form reversal is expected. Each way value. NUNNIONG (9) is a stablemate of the fourth pick who has yet to win a race. He is better than that, and is not out of this.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track Cl2 on May 24 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Tugela Falls with 59kg at $8. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Alice Springs 3&4yo Bm68 on April 5 over 1600m, 7 len behind Vanguard Legend with 56kg at $13. One of the leading chances.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Gawler 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1500m, in the wet; 0.8 len behind Garcon Renard carrying 58kg at $9. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 10 at Sale Mdn-Sw on May 28 over 1400m, 2 len behind Flag Flyer carrying 59.5kg at $19. Overdue and bold showing expected.
