AU - Darwin - Race 5

The Pollard yard has five of the seven runners. JULY (1) was a big winner fresh then tackled a tougher race last time over a little further and was safely held. This is easier, back in trip and gets a chance to atone. NO I'M NOT (5) is fitter for two runs back, the latest an improved fifth over 5 ½f. The extra ground suits. CARAT TIME (2) doesn't win out of turn and yet to win fresh but does look well placed here on best. Expected to be running on hard. VALKUR (7) has been beaten a fair way in the last few but best form measures up and is worth keeping safe. LADY FIREBALL (4) is a two-start maiden who ran an improved race last time to place. Has upside and although still yet to win one this is not tough.
