There are 61 acceptors for the six-event program at Fannie Bay this Wednesday, and the feature race on Day 6 of the Darwin Turf Club’s extravaganza is the $40,000 Dabble Cup (1300m) at 0-76 level. It should be sunny and windy with a top temperature of 33C. The rail will be in the true position, and Fannie Bay will once again be a good dirt surface.
DABBLE CUP TIP: SHAKATTAK
In a very open race at 0-76 level, Shakattak steps up in grade after posting an impressive win over 1300m in 0-66 company on July 13. Jumping from barrier five, the son of Shalaa found the rails and was happy to share the lead before pinching a break in the home straight to seal victory by two lengths. The four-year-old gelding drops 2.5kg and has also drawn a much better gate.

BEST BET AT DARWIN: POLARISING
Polarising jumped from a wide gate while lumping 58kg in a 1000m 0-58 race on July 13 and settled at the rear in the 11-horse field leaving the back straight. After Tom Doyle fell from Aplomado with 650m to go, the four-year-old gelding switched to the rails and motored home to seal a spectacular victory in the shadows of the post.

NEXT BEST AT DARWIN: IKNOWHATYOUREDOING
Iknowwhatyouredoing never figured in his first two Darwin races, blowing the start in both. The son of Husson jumped well on July 13 over 1600m in 0-62 company but was miles off the pace passing the 1200m. However, the Alice Springs four-year-old produced a stunning final 800m, rounding the field before exhibiting remarkable speed in the home straight to win by 3.3 lengths.

BEST VALUE AT DARWIN: MR HAVE A CHAT
Mr Have A Chat was spelled after an impressive first Darwin prep that included a win and two runner-up finishes. The son of I’m All The Talk returned in June when third behind Rising Sphere and Star Magnum over 1100m in 0-76 grade. The six-year-old gelding can recover from a last-start ninth over 1100m in 0-70 company on July 6.
