Darwin Race 9 - Ladbrokes Nt Derby

Hard to go past LEVERAGED BUYOUT (7) who was runner-up in the Alice Springs Cup at this trip three back. Has been building back up to this trip in the two runs since, the latest crushing most of these with a five-length win over a mile. Extra trip a plus and is the one to beat. MALDINI (8) was in the wake of Levered Buyout last time but was fresh and having his first run in the NT. Looks suited by the extra ground and will be further improved by the experience. HOPELESS ROMANTIC (6) was fifth in the same race. Has upside and is drawn much better this time. Blinkers have been added and can give a sight. GRINZINGER TUNDRA (5) has been going well, the latest runner-up over a mile here behind GARRIX. Blinkers added and can give sight despite the draw. MERIMBULA (9) is suited by the extra ground and can improve sharply.

At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track 3yo SW on July 4 over 1600m, 6 len behind Leveraged Buyout with 58kg at $3.70. Before that 10th of 12 at Flemington 3yo Hcp on June 6 over 1600m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Kaleo carrying 56.5kg at $21. Nice effort last time. Solid run first try in Darwin and can improve sharply.

Before that won by 2.5 len at this track 0 - 58 June 27 over 1200m defeating Dynamic Theory with 58.5kg at $5. First try at trip but super consistent and will give a sight in front.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran last of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 11 over 1200m, 11 len behind Dynasty Reward carrying 56.5kg at $81. Previously second-up ran second last of 14 at Oakbank 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Boolcunda Dawn carrying 55kg at $17. No easier this time and happy to leave out.
