Darwin Race 4 - Tab (Bm54)
Interesting race - three former Victorians and two former New South Welshmen. PAFITIS (2) is a former Victorian who was runner-up at his last run there at Colac. Best figures stack up and placed 3/3 while fresh. Expected to go close. RIVERS OF BABYLON (4) is also a former Victorian who has started once this area and ran very well, narrowly missing behind Good Onya Darl who was in the previous race. Has pace and will take catching. MERIMBULA (1) hasn't raced since March when safely held over 2007m at Kilmore. Well back in trip for Territory debut but can hit the line hard fresh. FORGING AHEAD (3) has raced in both NSW and Queensland and makes debut for the new yard. Has run well fresh and worth including. SWEET TWILIGHT (5) is also having first run this area and will be winding up over the sharp trip.

Second-up. First-up after five months rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at this track Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 1100m, long-neck behind Good Onya Darl carrying 58.5kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 19 over 1209m, 4.5 len behind Miss Kasei with 58kg at $14. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.
