Shortest win price
Ankle Rolex (1)

Heat 1 of the Ladbrokes Wet Season Series is a BM54 sprint over 1200m at Darwin on a Good track under fine conditions. The race jumps at 4:39 pm AEDT. Damo Dayz is shortest in the win market, with Ankle Rolex and Silver Smash next in line. Rivers Of Babylon, Debating, and All Inclusive round out the early movers. This looks a wide-open affair with genuine speed on the front, and the market is split across multiple chances.
Damo Dayz sits in barrier 1 and brings a rating of 94 with early pace credentials. The form suggests first-up runs suit — three wins from five first-up attempts is impressive — and Paul Shiers recorded a solid effort at Fannie Bay over 1200m last time despite running fifth. Ankle Rolex, at barrier 8, is the backmarker type who's won before at this track and distance but recent results are patchy. The rider's record sits 45 per cent below career average. Silver Smash at barrier 2 is a first-up runner for the new stable with a fresh up win on the ledger. The combo of Danielle Hirini and D Leech is firing at 26 per cent return on turnover, though this is a step up in class. Rivers Of Babylon from barrier 4 rates a real chance at double figures — nearly won in maiden company first-up last campaign and has a lone victory over this exact trip. Fresh after 17 weeks, the form line warrants attention despite the trainer's strike rate concerns.
Three leaders will dominate the early running: All Inclusive, Rivers Of Babylon, and Debating share the front end, which is an advantage on this circuit. Debating brings genuine class with a 23 per cent career strike rate and goes hard early from barrier 7. All Inclusive has early speed in its favour but the combo with Jarrod Todd and G Clarke is under water at minus 38 per cent return on turnover. Gunnie Gunfighter, from barrier 10 in the midfield, is worth noting — the Tommy Logan stable is outperforming market expectations by 22 per cent and the combo with Billy Cray is running at plus 171 per cent return on turnover, a standout number in this race.

Held when fifth beaten just over 5l over 1m here (handicap) 11 days ago; has won nine times here; warrants respect.
RSIS
Odds of 11/2 and finished 5th last start at this track and down in distance. Raymond Vigar and Patrick Johnston demand respect when they team up. Watch betting.

Behind Ankle Rolex when last of eight 21 days ago; grade looks suitable; respected if in the same form he showed when winning three starts back.
RSIS
Started 15/2 and was well beaten when 8th last time at this track. Happy to forgive that run but rises in weight. Definitely worth considering.

Resuming (30-weeks). Ex A & J Williams in Victoria. Ran a bottler in Maiden company at Kyneton first-up last prep. Can make a positive start for new trainer off the lengthy break.
ILB
Back after a 30 week spell. Picked up late to win last start at Stawell but back in trip. Interesting gear change of winkers on first time. Has some claims.
RP
Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; won a maiden by just over 1l, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking at Stawell in April; returns from a layoff; runs for a new trainer here; considered given that not many of these impressed last time out.
RSIS
Resumes from a 30 week break. Strong effort to the line to win last start at Stawell and showing improvement in recent outings. Will be down in distance. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $7.00 and hit the line well when 4th last time at the track and drawn beautifully. Has a nice turn of foot. Very tidy performer.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 3l) over 5½f (handicap) 21 days ago; can be in the thick of things based on the pick of his form.
RSIS
Started 6/1 and edged past some when finishing 4th last start around here and gets a favourable stall. Should be swooping on the field late. Forward showing expected.

Back from a freshen up. Jumped at $3.80 and weakened to finish 6th last start at Sunshine Coast. Looking for an improved run. Coming to a new trainer. Chance and can measure up.

Finished sixth, beaten 5l, over 7f at Sunshine Coast (handicap) 48 days ago; runs for a new trainer here; others more likely.

Let up. Odds of 11/4 and struggled with the pace when 6th last start at Sunshine Coast. Likely to bounce back and will try to take advantage of the stall. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
