Darwin Race 5 - Roant Mdn Plate
Looks four main hopes - two locals close to a win and two former Victorians. GOOD ONYA DARL (4) is a lightly raced type who has placed at both runs this time in. Showed good speed fresh to place then wound up late last time. Small field suits and expected to go close. Same for LADY FIREBALL (6) who has placed last three. Has good speed and will be in this to the end off the inside. RIVERS OF BABYLON (1) is a two-start maiden having first run this area. Low draw and can hit the ground running for the new yard. WESTERN MINER (3) is also a former Victorian who was safely held on wet ground in a hot form race at only run. Expected to measure up.
