DOOMBEN, AUGUST 31: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, August 31, 2013

Form assessed for a good 3.

RACE 1:

Very hard race. QFIGHTER (6) goes back at start but big finisher and EF 2nd excellent last start. BAHSA (1) is helped by a good alley and wasn't far behind QFIGHTER at EF. SUNSET SHOWDOWN (5) box-seats here and likes track and trip. Rough chances 7, 9, 10 and 12.

RACE 2:

Tricky. At least LIGHTFEET LADY (7) is in-form and likes the 100m. BUCKMOORE (4) won EF 100m last Sat so no reason why he can't run well again. THEFT (2) would win on best form but how is he going? Didn't come up last campaign and recent Dalby trial only fair. Rough chance 6.

RACE 3:

MISHANI WARRIOR (1) has been good to us and I see no reason to drop off. Impressive track and trip a fortnight ago and ran time. VOLKHERE (3) is the obvious threat again after he ran him to a narrow margin. DE DOZEN STARS (5) is in-form and will lead them up. Rough chance 6.

RACE 4:

HEART OF MANY (7) has hit his straps now and is poised to get a great trip here. Sprinted impressively latest track and trip win. GOT UNDERS (10) had his chance behind HEART OF MANY but can run well again while TROILUS FUSE (5) will roll forward and his some hope 2nd-up at odds. Rough chances 2, 6 and 12.

RACE 5:

Usual suspects. FLYING HOME (5) will be ridden with cover today and hard to beat from MUKADDAMAH SON (2) who looks the obvious danger with SAINT ENCOSTA (1) suited with a month between runs. Rough chances 3, 6 and 8.

RACE 6:

Good depth here but keen on REGULAR (4). Boxed to get the right trip in a fast run race. Going well and no excuse today. TOMS LUCK (8) was impressive at 1110m here 2 weeks ago and box seats today although up to 1200m and harder field. SUSHASHI (7) has come back guns ablazing and will lead them for a long way. Rough chances 1, 2, 5 and 11.

RACE 7:

I have a reservation about CUDDLESOME (5) getting a decent mile but in today's race she will get a very good trip and hard not to be with her after her last start fast win here at 1350m. EPIC TERRA (8) has had 2 runs back, drops in weight and will be in or near lead. Danger. NOISY OCEAN (10) runs well at this track and trip. Rough chance 3.

RACE 8:

OLYMPIC ANTHEM (3) was an eye-catcher at EF last Saturday and doesn't have to do much more to beat this easier field. Step up in distance a plus. BODEGA NEGRA (11) was promising on debut and blinkers and extra distance help. TORNADO MISS (4) has struck form and must be given a chance. Rough chances 1, 2, 5 and 7.

BEST BET: REGULAR (Race 6).

BEST EACHWAY: EPIC TERRA (Race 7).

BEST ROUGHIE: BODEGA NEGRA (Race 8).

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 5 / 4, 7, 8 / 5, 8, 10 / 3 11.
