Darwin Race 3 - Rydges Palmerston (Bm54)
Like the last race the favourite yet to be proven at the trip. STRAYA PRIDE (3) had been racing very well and was close to a win before a below-par run last time. This is much easier and will handle the trip. Gets a chance to atone. RISING WATER (6) has been runner -up at both runs this time in and looks cherry ripe to break through. Wound up strongly latest over 1100m for a close second. Looks hard to beat on that but has been 18 months since a win and unplaced both runs at this journey. Won't get a better chance to correct that. MISS BLACK DIAMOND (2) has the blinkers on for return and looks well placed fresh. Rates strongly and will wind up late. DANGER MAN (4) is another resuming and can run a bold race fresh. MLINZI (5) was well off her best last time and can improve sharply.
