Darwin Race 4 - Book Christmas Party At Silks Hcp (C2)
TEARS ARE FLOWING (1) sets the standard after resuming with a determined win at this track, where she was sent out odds-on and won by just under a length. She has already placed in BM64 company and her record at both the venue and distance reads well for this assignment. BLITZWATER (3) resumes with consistent Queensland form, having placed seven times from nine starts in the past 12 months, and her four placings from four runs around 1000m make her a serious danger if she brings that form to this venue. PRINCE OF SPARTA (8) was well-supported first-up and was not beaten far despite finishing last in a small field, with weight relief helping his second-up profile. MISTIFYZOU (6) has the race fitness edge from a recent second at this track and the apprentice claim helps, though her unplaced record at 1000m keeps her more in the place mix.

Returns from a two-month let-up after proving too strong at this track, where she tracked the speed and fought on to beat Order Online by just under a length as odds-on favourite. She had earlier run third in a BM64 behind Polarising after covering ground, so the form has depth. Proven at the venue and trip, and the prior BM64 placing gives her a strong winning case.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a plain second last at Bendigo in FM BM62 company on heavy ground, beaten just over nine lengths. The run prior was much better, when third in a BM62 at Wangaratta after leading deep and being caught late. The Bendigo finish was plain, but the Wangaratta third keeps her in the place mix.

Returns from a four-month spell after finishing third in a BM58 at Sunshine Coast, beaten two and a half lengths by Seismic Boom on soft ground. She has been highly reliable over the past year, placing seven times from nine starts, and has filled a placing in all four runs around 1000m. Clear danger if sharp enough.

Comes off a strong BM58 win at this track, where he led, overcame some mid-race tightening and beat Pafitis by just under two lengths. That was a sharp rebound from a fifth behind Predicting when he gave away a big start and never really threatened. A repeat puts him right in the minor-money picture.

Finished fourth behind Meet Me At The Bar in a BM58 at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after beginning slowly and charging home from the rear. That was a far better effort than his previous last in a small field, when beaten over 12 lengths. Has to put the race together to threaten.

Placed first-up at this track when second to Warrego in SC grade, beaten just over three lengths after pressing forward and weakening late. Her Ballarat run before the break was plain in BM62 company, but she is fitter now and gets a useful 3kg apprentice claim. The 1000m record is the knock, but she has place claims.

Returns from a four-month break after a disappointing end to last campaign, finishing last in a BM58 at this track when beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. She had also been well held behind Dynamic Theory two runs back. Prior venue win helps only a little.

Was well-supported favourite first-up in SC company at this track and finished last of five, but the margin was only just over five lengths and he picked up well enough late. His Ballarat Synthetic run before the break had merit after covering ground wide without cover in a Mdn. Still a maiden, so place claims look the right level.
