Darwin Race 3 - Sportsbet Trobis Special Conditions Plate
WENDELL (6) sets the benchmark based on his NSW form and looks well placed first-up for Ella Clarke. His Hawkesbury run was underwhelming after being a top betting choice, but his prior effort at Warwick Farm and one placing from two good track attempts are encouraging. Jarrod Todd, the top jockey here, strengthens his case. KARMAROA (4) is lightly raced, returning after a ninth at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten three and a half lengths as a long shot. With blinkers off and a strong local trainer, he has potential. MISTIFYZOU (5) had a poor showing in a metro Class 2 last start while racing wide, but returns to easier company and has one win and one place from three tries at this distance. TENACIOUS ZEUS (2) the best of the rest.

Led to the turn in a Mdn at this track last start but was swamped and finished second last, beaten just over seven lengths, after being an outside chance in betting. His previous third behind Warrego was sound enough in a small field, and he has placed two times from three starts at this track and distance. Each-way only if he rebounds.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a sixth in a Mdn at this track, beaten just under eight lengths by Easy Red after losing position by the turn. The run prior was another well-held effort behind Hammurabi despite making some ground late. Last-campaign form was plain, so he has plenty to find fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell after one race start, when ninth in a Mdn at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten three and a half lengths by First Regent despite starting at long odds. He settled handy and worked home evenly enough to suggest there was something to build on. Debut had enough merit for place claims.

Drops back from a metro Class 2 after finishing last at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Cavern, with a wide run adding some context but not fully excusing the margin. Her second to Warrego at this venue the run prior was much better, and she is proven at 1100m with one win and one place from three attempts. Minor hope.

Resumes after a three-month break for a new stable and brings the strongest overall profile despite ending last campaign with a plain last at Hawkesbury in a CG Mdn, beaten just over eight lengths after racing keenly. His Warwick Farm run prior was also short of his best late, but he was mixing it in stronger NSW company and has placed at around this trip. Last run was plain, but his best NSW form makes him the one to beat.
