| When | Saturday, May 25, 2024 |

A total of 38 horses have accepted for the five-event meeting at Fannie Bay this weekend. The dry season is in full swing, as only 0.4mm of rain has fallen in Darwin since April 5. Sunny conditions with light winds is the forecast for Saturday, with a top temperature of 33C. The rail will be in the true position and it will once again be a good dirt surface.
BEST BET AT DARWIN: MIAMI VICE
After finishing third first-up at Fannie Bay in a 1000m maiden on April 19, Miami Vice bounced back to trounce his rivals by almost six lengths in an 1100m maiden a fortnight ago. The son of Shalaa never left the fence that day and shared the early lead after jumping from gate one before powering away in the home straight. He carries an extra 1kg in this BM53 over 1100m and will take a power of beating.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#1 Miami Vice (4)
3yo Gelding | T: Phil Cole | J: Emma Lines (a1.5) (59.5kg)
NEXT BEST AT DARWIN: TANAAWOL
This six-year-old gelding arrived in the Top End late last year and produced two wins from as many starts. The son of Savabeel then suffered a spider bite, which meant he couldn’t run in the $40,000 Lightning Wet Season Final (1200m) on Australia Day after winning two of the six heats. Tanaawol is carrying a fair amount of weight and has drawn a wide gate, but he has saluted three times when returning from a spell.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#2 Tanaawol (7)
6yo Gelding | T: Gary Clarke | J: Jarrod Todd (60.5kg)
BEST VALUE AT DARWIN: TIARA JEWEL
Tiara Jewel returns to the Top End after winning two races over 1600m during last year’s Darwin Cup Carnival. In a fairly open race on Saturday, it’s hard to ignore the five-year-old mare’s early $6 quote with racing bookmakers after a last-start third over the mile in Alice Springs on April 7. The daughter of Hallowed Crown has spent most of her career racing in Victoria and SA, posting four wins from 27 starts — including a third over this trip at Morphettville in January.
Best Value
Race 5 – 
#3 Tiara Jewel (3)
5yo Mare | T: Gary Clarke | J: Jarrod Todd (57kg)
