Darwin   20 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Hard Hat Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo likely from Dynamic Theory and Montjuic Magic. GOOD ONYA DARL (10) is better than last start when strung up in traffic just at the wrong time. Has drawn wide here but has the pace to cross and is expected to give a sight. Could be over the odds. DYNAMIC THEORY (4) was solid fresh then a determined winner last time. Has won third-up and can go on with it. MONTJUIC MAGIC (6) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1100m at Stony Creek. First run this area and expected to measure up. OUR SQUAMOSA (8) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1100m at Alice Springs. Winning claims on best figures. SI SENORA (7) was safely held first run for new yard but fitter and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Good Onya Darl can atone.
