Darwin Race 3 - Bet365 Mdn Plate
SOUTHAMPTON FLARE (2) switched from the Matt Dunn yard in NSW and didn't get into it after a slow start. He'd been 48 days away and started a $2.1 equal favourite. Has the blinkers on today and is capable of using the low barrier to advantage. He's right up to this and deserves another chance. LADY FIREBALL (5) led over 1200m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a handy 2kg claim today and drops back to maiden company. Capable of testing this field. GOOD ONYA DARL (4) switched from a Victorian yard and had some excuses first-up. She was in the market and will be better for the experience. Keeps Todd and a much better effort is likely. GOD'S EYE (3) has placed distantly in his last two but is well into his preparation and needs to find more.

Most recently eased back early on in a small field at this track 3yo C2/Mdn Sc-Sw on March 27 over 1200m, 7 len behind Pleasing Smile carrying 59kg at $26. The run before that ran last of 12 at this track 0 - 58 on February 28 over 1600m, 16 len behind I'm A Dreamer carrying 52kg at $31. Risking.
