Darwin Race 2 - Ladbrokes Wet Season Series - Heat 1 (Bm54)
SILVER SMASH (6) is the one to beat coming back from a Sunshine Coast BM68 and Ipswich BM65 form line into this BM54. Her latest sixth reads plain, but she was in the market, had some home-turn manners and contact noted, and her record at 1200m is the key point. Go close. DAMO DAYZ (5) appeals as the immediate danger after a sound first-up fourth in BM58 grade at this track, where he made ground from a difficult position and now has strong distance credentials to lean on. STYLISH PRINCE (4) resumes after eight months off, but his last campaign ended with a Stawell Mdn win and a nose defeat at Kyneton, so the race form is honest enough if he handles 1200m for the first time. ANKLE ROLEX (1) is seasoned, drops out of BM64 grade and has an extensive winning record around this trip, which keeps him in the each-way conversation. PREDICTING (9) next best.

Worked home soundly when fifth in a BM64 at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after racing keenly through the middle stages. The start prior was stronger, finishing third in another BM64 when near the top of an open market and covering ground around the home turn. The query is whether he can turn recent placings into another win.

Comes off two heavy defeats in stronger races at this track, finishing last in a BM64 last start after being beaten over 13 lengths and last in a BM70 the run prior when weakening badly after leading. Not here.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last preparation with a second-last placing in Open company at this track, beaten over 10 lengths after giving ground meekly. He had been second in another Open the start prior, though unwanted in the market and unable to sustain pressure. May need the run.

Returns from a lengthy spell after winning a Mdn at Stawell over 1607m, beating Nightynight by just over a length as an odds-on favourite. That followed a nose second to Crazy Town at Kyneton on soft ground, so the last-campaign form has substance. First go at 1200m, but the form profile is strong.

Made a sound first-up return when fourth in a BM58 at this track, beaten just over three lengths after settling well back and picking up nicely in the straight. He was near the top of an open market there and now comes back to BM54 grade second-up. Second-up in a BM54 looks a suitable platform.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing sixth in a Sunshine Coast BM68, beaten just over five lengths when close enough but unable to finish it off. She had earlier been beaten four lengths in a BM65 at Ipswich after racing wide. Well placed to rebound and rates the one to beat.

Lifted at big odds when fourth in a Class 2 at this track last start, beaten just over a length after sitting behind the leaders. That was a clear step forward from his previous BM58 effort, where he jumped awkwardly and was beaten over 12 lengths. Wide draw and patchy track record keep him in the place mix only.

Had every chance when last in a BM58 at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths after being a well-supported favourite. The run prior showed his better side, leading throughout to beat Sass by two lengths in the same grade. Can bounce back.

Was beaten five and a half lengths in a BM58 at this track last start after jumping awkwardly, leading and then being run down late. His previous fifth over 1000m also came after an awkward start and a wide run, so the recent pattern has not been clean. Can atone.
