It’s calm before the storm in the Top End with the Darwin Cup Carnival looming on the horizon, but 39 horses have still accepted for this Saturday’s five-event program at Fannie Bay. There’s a slight chance of rain on Friday, but come Saturday the forecast is for sunny conditions with a top temperature of 35C. The rail will be in the true position, and it will once again be a good dirt surface in Darwin.

BEST BET: CANADA BAY

Canada Bay impressed en route to a 3.5-length win over 0-58 opposition on debut at Fannie Bay on ANZAC Day. The four-year-old mare jumped from gate two in the eight-horse field and led her rivals a merry dance by leading from start to finish. She steps up in grade, and apart from drawing an ideal gate, she also carries slightly less weight.

NEXT BEST: AWEN

Victoria-based trainer Mark Pegus took this daughter of Kodiac to the Red Centre for the Alice Springs Cup Carnival, and in her first start on March 27 she sank her rivals by 5.3 lengths in a 1400m maiden. Backing up 11 days later on Cup Day, Awen finished well adrift of Miracoli in third place over 1600m. On April 20, the mare was a length behind Princess Pancakes over 1400m in second place.

BEST VALUE: STAR MAGNUM

This son of Magnus was an early $8 quote with online bookmakers, but he could challenge Gary Clarke stablemates Spaceship and Bel’s Banner for favouritism on Saturday. Star Magnum was a last-start fifth over 1200m on December 1, but he boasts a respectable first-up record (6:1-1-3). The fact that the former NSW and Queensland galloper also won a 900m trial by 13 lengths on May 3 certainly enhances his prospects.
