Our Darwin Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Shenanigan City (Darwin Race 3 No. 1)
This five-year-old Ilovethiscity gelding has two wins and three places from 11 starts. He chased solidly along the rails for 2 lengths 3rd over 1106m at Sale on 20 December, then just plugged when 8.7 lengths 7th over 1200m at Caulfield on 13 January. Resumes here after a 28 week spell and is having his first start for this trainer. Both his wins have been first up and he can win here.

Each Way
Newmatic Sands (Darwin Race 4 No. 5):
This five-year-old Written Tycoon mare has four places from her 12 starts. She dropped out a long last and did well to run on for 7.7 lengths 6th of 10 over 1100m at Darwin on 12 June, then improved to finish 2.5 lengths 2nd over 1300m at Darwin on 26 June. Looks a nice each-way chance again.

Best Lay
Tugga War (Darwin Race 1 No. 4):
This five-year-old chestnut mare trained by Gary Clarke is the early favourite in this BM 0-62 handicap over 1600m. Resuming from a 24 week spell she finished 3.8 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Darwin on 12 June, then ran on steadily for 6.1 lengths 5th over 1200m at Darwin on 26 June. Will appreciate the extra distance, but others look to have better chances.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Focusing on runners that are on speed as that is how the track typically plays. The best bet was narrowly denied last start and can notch up another career win in a very suitable race. Best Bet Privacy Tour (Wodonga Race 6 No. 6) Narrowly denied last run and the form has stood up since. While this is a rise in grade, on paper this race is no harder. Egan takes over and drops

Key Comments 7 race card takes place. The best bet comes up in the first and has been subject to plenty of market support and should take beating off the back of a strong run fresh. Best Bet Tycoon Jenny (Corowa Race 7 No. 1) She has been hard to catch lately but form has been back on track and ticks all the boxes for this. Her best is good enough, maps for a good run and is in okay at the weights

Key Comments Racing on a soft track. The best bet comes up later on in the day and should appreciate the drop in grade. It is still looming around healthy odds at time of typing. Best Bet Great Siege (Tamworth Race 6 No. 5) Well placed to be taking this out. Has to lump the weight but drops back in grade off a commendable return on the back of a freshen up. Has won on this track and looks well placed in this

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this track. Running on an expected heavy deck so looking towards runners that will handle the conditions. Best Bet Three Grand (Hamilton Race 8 No. 10) Tricky card to sort with plenty of chances. Three Grand has been around the mark this prep. Unknown on a heavy deck but proven down to soft footing, Allen hops back aboard and he is 1/1 when steering. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
