Darwin Race 5 - Pointsbet Hcp (Bm70)
BON'S YOUR BACK (1) earns top billing after a decisive win at this track, where he was slow to begin, settled back and still lengthened well enough to beat Order Online by a length. His record at this venue is a major strength and he now comes into an easier meeting. The testing material. NEW ENTERPRISE (7) is the main danger on the quick back-up after closing into second behind Biden Time last week; the rise from BM58 to BM70 is the obvious test, but his track-and-distance grounding keeps him right in the race. CONVINCEBILITY (3) was beaten three lengths by BON'S YOUR BACK last start and has the place record at this venue to hold his ground again. BRUNO BRUNO (4) was disappointing as favourite in that same race, yet his previous second and strong overall track profile give him the right credentials to rebound into the placings. FURY (2) is back after four weeks and proven at this track and distance. Include.

Produced the right response at this track last start, overcoming a slow beginning before lengthening strongly to beat Order Online by a length. His earlier third behind Littlebourkestreet was sound enough after beginning awkwardly, and he now eases from Saturday company with three wins and eight placings from 15 starts at this venue. Looks the benchmark again.

Returns from a four-week freshening after finishing second in a BM76 at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Hennessy Lad after coming from well back. That followed a comfortable win over Capitol Hill as odds-on favourite, and his two wins and two placings from four track-and-distance runs are hard to ignore. Last margin keeps him more each-way than win-only.

Stuck on for third behind Bon's Your Back at this track last start, beaten three lengths after racing just off the lead. The start prior was plainer when last in a small field behind Littlebourkestreet, despite being near the top of an open market.

Failed to deliver as favourite when sixth behind Bon's Your Back last start, beaten six and a half lengths after being prominent and leading to the turn. His previous second behind Littlebourkestreet was a better guide, and Jessica Booth's 2kg claim is a useful addition.

Resumes off a four-week freshening after finishing last in a BM76 at this track, beaten over 11 lengths, with stewards noting he raced wide. He had won an Open at Bedourie the start prior with some market support, so there is a better run in his recent file. Prior Bedourie win helps, but a sharp turnaround is required.

Back after four weeks following a third in a BM76 at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Hennessy Lad, with a check near the 1200m adding some context. He had won a BM56+ at Kununurra the run before, beating Anphina by just over a length. Place claims if he repeats his best.

Went close at this track last week when second to Biden Time in a BM58, beaten a length after letting down nicely. He rises to BM70, which is the main hurdle, but the quick back-up is assessed as a positive and he has long-established track-and-distance form with one win and seven placings from 24 attempts. Class rise is real, but his track-and-distance grounding makes him a strong danger.
