Darwin Race 3 - Silks Darwin Mdn Plate
THANK GOD I GOTHIM (4) has been placed in all of his 4 starts on this track since making the move from South Australia in early June. He will be backing up quickly from his last run for second and is set to go one better. VILLA ROYALE (11) was placed in 11 of his 17 starts in Victoria and resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good. She comes to hand quickly, and the leading Gary Clarke stable normally gets quick results with similar imports. GO BARNEY GO (2) got back from a wide gate here 5 weeks ago and never got warm. He cops another tough draw, but with the right run, he is good enough to figure in the top 3. JUELENE (7) was fifth as favourite in her first local start. She will naturally improve second up, and is worth including in all combinations, so follow your money. CEE PEE ONE (1) resumed from a spell and finished third here last week. That was his first run since returning from Hong Kong, and with the blinkers on, he will be hard to hold out.

Second run from a spell ran last of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1100m, 19 len behind Predicting carrying 56.5kg at $61.

Resumes after a break of 11 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second of 10 at Werribee 4yo+ Mdn-Sw May 16 over 1110m, 1.5 len behind Just Bolts carrying 57.5kg at $1.50. Previously first up; second of 7 at Terang Mdn-Sw March 21 over 1000m, soft track; 1.3 len behind Watch Capital carrying 57.5kg at $1.90. This is an ideal race to kick off. Great chance.
