GOING: G

Darwin Family Law Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Perkova, Zoumist and Soul Spirit to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. ASTERN MAGIC (3) showed plenty of potential earlier in his career when trained in Queensland and has since changed stables after having one run this year at the Gold Coast on their poly track. He should be suited to racing in this area and the markets will be your best guide, Can win. SHECANMIXIT (10) has come of age and won her last race before going for a spell before resuming 3 weeks ago with a comfortable win by a length. It will be tougher from a wide draw this time but she is good enough to get the job done. POMPEII EMPIRE (4) has joined the travelling stable of Kym Healy after last racing at Morphettville earlier in the year. He comes to hand quickly and can make his presence felt fresh up at this level. LUCKY FORTUNA (11) resumed with a big win fresh up on this track a fortnight ago and can continue to maintain her solid track record with another honest effort in this. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Astern Magic each-way.
