There will be 38 starters for the five-event meeting at Darwin’s Fannie Bay, with a host of chances in each race. It hadn’t rained in Darwin since July 26 before 54.4mm fell this week. It is set to be partly cloudy on Saturday and there is the possibility of further showers with a top temperature of 33C. The rail will once again be in the true position, and as usual, it will be a good dirt surface.
BEST BET: Siberian Larch
Siberian Larch debuted in Darwin in March and in four starts, his best effort was a second in a 1000m maiden. The son of Russian Revolution sat just off the pace over 1000m three weeks ago before sprinting clear in the home straight to seal victory by two lengths. He will carry an extra 2kg on Saturday, but Siberian Larch’s last start win caught the eye.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#1 Siberian Larch (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Chloe Baxter | J: Hannah Le Blanc (a3) (59kg)

NEXT BEST: Yaki Ishi
Yaki Ishi has not put a foot wrong since making his Fannie Bay debut in late June. He finished third over 1100m (0-62) first-up before managing two minor placings over 1300m. The son of Maurice was second in the $50,000 Magic Millions Top End Classic (1300m) on Darwin Cup Day, so it was no surprise to see him prevail over 1300m (0-58) on August 31. Debating and Royal Signal won’t make it easy, but a much better gate gives Yaki Ishi the edge.

#2 Yaki Ishi (4)

BEST VALUE: To The Point
It was July last year when To The Point last tasted success at Fannie Bay—he has had 17 starts in the Top End since for just four minor placings. A second over 1100m at Katherine on August 17 was followed by a last start fourth over 1200m at Darwin three weeks ago. The son of Bull Point missed the start and settled at the tail in the six-horse field before hitting top gear in the home straight to finish 1.5 lengths adrift. The 3kg claim enhances To The Point’s hopes immeasurably.
Best Value
Race 1 – 
#4 To The Point (7)
6yo Gelding | T: Chloe Baxter | J: Hannah Le Blanc (a3) (57.5kg)
