Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 28 Journalists Share Posted February 28 What Darwin Races Where Fannie Bay Racecourse – Dick Ward Dr, Fannie Bay NT 0820 When Friday, March 1, 2024 First Race 3:05pm AEDT Visit Dabble They’re racing at Fannie Bay for the second straight Friday, with 32 horses accepting for the five-event meeting. The Top End has been drenched this week, which included 62mm on Tuesday, with further showers and thunderstorms tipped for the rest of the week. Come Friday, it should be humid with a top temperature of 32C. The rail will be in the true position and it will once again be a fast dirt surface. BEST BET: MR HAVE A CHAT This former South Australian galloper made his Darwin debut on February 9 and started as a +150 favourite before succumbing to El Magnificence over 1100m. Mr Have A Chat led for a major portion of the race and did little wrong before going down by 2.3 lengths. The six-year-old gelding drops from 0-76 to 0-64 company, and despite lumping an extra 5kg, he should prove hard to beat. Best Bet Race 4 – #1 Mr Have A Chat (4) 6yo Gelding | T: Chris Nash | J: Jade Hampson (a1.5) (60.5kg) Bet with Bet365 NEXT BEST: BON’S PRIDE Four-year-old gelding Bon’s Pride is flying and will be seeking his fourth straight win as he takes on Tubthumper, who returns after a stint in Queensland. A second over 1100m on Melbourne Cup Day on his NT debut was followed by a fourth over 1200m on December 1 before saluting over 1300m by 8.3 lengths on December 16, 1300m on January 13 and then 1200m on February 9. Next Best Race 1 – #2 Bon’s Pride (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Jason Manning | J: Vanessa Arnott (61.5kg) Bet with PlayUp BEST VALUE: ZOURISKY Her form does fluctuate at times, but in a very open race, Zourisky is good value at the early price of +600. The five-year-old mare was a last-start third behind Wilsons Prom over 1300m on December 8. Zourisky’s first-up form isn’t too bad, and in 10 starts for Gary Clarke her record stands at two wins and three thirds. Best Value Race 3 – #3 Zourisky (3) 5yo Mare | T: Gary Clarke | J: Jarrod Todd (60kg) Bet with Unibet Fannie Bay quaddie tips – Friday 1/3/2024 Darwin quadrella selections Friday, March 1, 2024 1-4 1-2-3-4-5-8 1-3-5 1-2-3-4 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
