Darwin Race 1 - Nt News Trobis Mdn Plate
PERFECT LINK (3) has been bought out of Victoria and joins the Chloe Baxter stable off a 12-week break. She was fourth on the Pakenham poly track in her penultimate start, and that form is good enough to put her on top in this field. BRAVE HERITAGE (1) ran his best race yet when finishing third here nearly 3 weeks ago, and he won't have to improve by much to be picking up a win at short notice. ZOUTARA (6) has taken his time to adapt to her new surroundings, and looked much better when finishing second here last time out. She faces a similar set-up, and can go one better this time. LADY FIREBALL (4) made progress without threatening to win a race in her initial prep, and she will be a lot stronger now. Each way claims. MILK FOAM (5) has been thereabouts for a while now, and will get few better chances than this to break through for a win.
