Darwin Race 3 - Rydges Palmerston (Bm54)
RHESUS (2) did enough first up to suggest he can improve enough to take this out. He's won second-up and has a 3kg claim in easier. That brings him right into it. STRAYA PRIDE (4) just missed in a 58, showing more like his best. Keeps Todd and should go close for the leading yard. TILUSSION (6) resumes in the same race and gave it away late after riding the speed. Uses the rail and is proven second-up. Rates well at best. MIAMI BABY (1) needed the first-up outing and will be a lot more competitive today. Finds easier and will get every chance. SABOR (5) is hard to catch but kept on the fresh side should be around the mark.
