Darwin Race 4 - Ladbrokes Summer Sprint Series Hcp (64)
Going with VILLA ROYALE (7) who came to the NT as a maiden from Victoria and has just thrived. Won three of four starts for the new yard before a break and surely returns set for this series. Goes well fresh and off the inside looks a top chance to continue the good form. MIAMI VICE (3) was beaten by POLARISING last time but can turn the tables. Meets him better at the weights and will strip fitter for one run back. Will take catching. POLARISING (8) ran down Miana Vice late to score latest and is racing well this campaign. Will stalk a hot speed and wind up strongly again. ANECDOTAL (9) is a former South Australian who has run well at two runs for the new yard and with good speed will take catching again. LOCHLORIAN (5) might want a little further but best figures measure up and has to be included fresh.

Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before.

When resuming last campaign sixth of 10 at Alice Springs 0 - 70 October 6 2024 over 1100m, 6 len behind Flying Yishu with 58.5kg at $13. Returns in a winnable race but yet to fire fresh.
