Darwin Race 2 - Book Dtc Gala Ball Mdn Plate
Race drops away quickly. PAFITIS (6) is a former Victorian who had first run for the new yard and raced on pace before fading late for third. Better for that run and expected to take catching over the longer trip. HAMMURABI (4) looks the biggest danger and is worth watching for a positive push. Former Joseph Pride galloper having his first start in this area. Rates highly and could well be too good. DYNASTY REWARD (1) is overdue for a win and drawn to take catching. FORGING AHEAD (3) is fitter and is worth including. TENACIOUS ZEUS (7) was fair fresh and will also strip fitter for this slightly longer assignment.

Second-up. First-up after six months 3rd in a small field at this track Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 1100m, 5 len behind Good Onya Darl with 58.5kg at $8.50. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on October 22 over 1350m, on a slow track; 17 len behind It's Only Magic carrying 56kg at $12. Shaping up nicely and is definitely worth including.
