Darwin Race 2 - Sky Racing Dash Division1

GROUND CONTROL (5) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 383m at this track (22.26) in a OPEN. Has a strong winning record at this journey including one wins. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Top chance in this line up. EVEN BACKWARDS (8) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 312m behind Zero Control (18.62) in a Grade 3/4. Was a winner prior to that. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. LITTLE RILEY (4) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when second in a Grade 3/4 at this track (18.30). Leading player again. NOT BAD YOURSELF (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when second (18.30) at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Has ability and should run well.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track and clocking a brilliant 18.00 for the 312m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 312m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.
