Darwin   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING: F

Dublin Dash 1100m

Track: WET FAST   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Anecdotal and Tigers Roar. RISING WATER (9) closed off strongly fresh when a close-up second over 1000m at this track. Fitter for the run and looks tough to hold out again. TIGERS ROAR (2) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1100m at this track on November 4. Speedy type who will take catching off the low draw. JUELENE (4) recorded her maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. VIACONI (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Boxed on well last time and is close to a win. ANECDOTAL (1) has pace and is expected to take running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Rising Water.
