Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 5 Journalists Share Posted December 5 What Darwin Races Where Fannie Bay Racecourse – Dick Ward Dr, Fannie Bay NT 0820 When Friday, December 6, 2024 First Race 3pm ACST Visit Dabble The Darwin Turf Club hosts yet another Friday twilight meeting with 41 horses accepting for the five-event program. Wet and muddy conditions prevailed last Friday, with upwards of 80mm falling in the Top End this week. Further rain is expected on Friday with a top temperature of 32C. The rail will be in the true position, and despite the rain, it is expected to be a good dirt surface. BEST BET AT DARWIN: Debating A solid performer in Darwin and Alice Springs since December, Debating was a last start winner over 1000m against 0-58 opposition on November 16. Leading by two lengths most of the way, the four-year-old gelding held on to win by half a length from the fast-finishing Rhesus. In 11 Top End starts, the son of Reward For Effort has three wins and eight minor placings. Debating has done little wrong in eight starts since July with the former Victorian galloper seeking back-to-back wins for the first time. Best Bet Race 3 – #3 Debating (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Ella Clarke | J: Adam Nicholls (59.5kg) Bet with BlondeBet NEXT BEST AT DARWIN: Prince Ruban Prince Ruban was a first up second on November 16 going down by a head to Seven Secrets over 1300m at 0-64 level. The seven-year-old gelding sat outside the winner, and together they shared the lead for a major portion of the race. Prince Ruban carries an extra 3.5kg on Friday, but he boasts seven wins and eight minor placings from 26 starts at Fannie Bay. Next Best Race 1 – #2 Prince Ruban (6) 7yo Gelding | T: Gary Clarke | J: Adam Nicholls (62kg) Bet with Neds BEST VALUE AT DARWIN: On The Charge In an open nine-horse field, On The Charge debuts in Darwin after kick-starting his career in NSW. The four-year-old gelding finished second in an 1100m Gilgandra maiden in January before returning in June for a second in a 1000m Tamworth maiden as a $1.80 favourite. The son of Charge Forward backed up in July and saluted as a $1.95 favourite in a 1000m Warren maiden. New faces to Darwin are hit or miss, but On The Charge – an early $7 quote with online bookmakers – is worth the risk.
