Darwin Race 3 - Ladbrokes Tote Win +10% In October (Bm76)
GENETIC FREAK (3) brings the strongest recent form, having won an Open at this track from FIELD OF FLUTES before being beaten just over half a length as favourite in a BM NT three weeks ago. That last-start defeat still reads well for this BM76, and his three wins from seven starts at the distance add substance. Top pick. BON'S PRIDE (4) has been freshened since two plain Open runs, but his five wins and four placings from twelve starts at this track and distance make him the key rebound chance. Not to be discounted. FIELD OF FLUTES (1) beat Flying Annie last start in a BM NT and is holding form, though the weight and recent head-to-head with GENETIC FREAK keep him more as a place hope. TARTAGLIA (5) resumes for a new stable after a close Class 6 fourth at Grafton and a CG BM64 win at Gosford. Can give this a shake if that interstate form transfers. ATLANTIC OCEAN (7) can improve into a place second-up.

Kept his form rolling when winning a BM NT at this track three weeks ago, scoring by a head from Flying Annie after travelling well, being held up at the 300m and digging in late. That followed a second to Wild Beau over 1000m when beaten just under five lengths. Has the track-and-trip profile to be around the placings again.

Went within just over half a length of winning a BM NT at this track last start, leading and only being caught late after starting favourite. Two back he won an Open at this venue, beating Field Of Flutes by half a length, so the form ties in strongly. Proven at 1200m and profiles as the one to beat.

Back after a two-month freshening following a sixth in an Open at this track, where he jumped awkwardly, settled back and was never in the hunt behind Genetic Freak. The run prior was a well-beaten eighth, but he was wide throughout. Capable of sharp improvement.

Returns from a four-month break after a close fourth in a Class 6 at Grafton, beaten a length and a half by Tough Guy when closing strongly and noted as not fully ridden out from the home turn to the 200m. He had won a CG BM64 at Gosford on heavy ground the start before, beating Senshi. First look here, but can feature.

Had little impact at this track last week, finishing fifth and beaten five and a half lengths by Struck Gold after beginning slowly and giving away a big start. He was also only fair in a BM NT two back when sixth behind Field Of Flutes at long odds. Has to lift to get beyond an outside place hope.

Finished seventh first-up in a BM NT at this track, beaten five lengths by Field Of Flutes after settling at the back and making only limited ground. His final run last campaign was a four-length last in an Open behind Dakota Lee. Others appeal more.
