DOOMBEN, OCTOBER 5: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, October 5, 2013

Form assessed for a good 3

RACE 1:

GRAPEVINE (4) is a standout. Ran fastest time in 2yo trials, led, untouched and this has ended up a weak race. TOTALLY SURE (9) trialled nicely but is not as well drawn as GRAPEVINE and that could be the difference. ALL THE ANGELS (2) is a place prospect from the rails alley. Rough chance 8.

RACE 2:

VIENNA ROYALE (10) is everything you want for an early season winner. High speed in trial and won easily, running slightly slower time than GRAPEVINE. Good alley is a plus. FEELIN' THE HEAT (5) should provide the quinella result. Trialled comfortably at Sunshine Coast, coming off pace. A BIT WICKED (1) is still learning and has a bad gate but does have talent. No rough chances.

RACE 3:

Why can't ANNA LIZZIE (5) win again? Spectacular first-up this track and trip and given 21 days to get over that. Not as fresh now but only five runners to come around. PICKABEE (2) is likely to lead and is in-form while MAGIC IN MOTION (1) is on a 7 day back-up after last week's EF win. Must rate. Rough chance 3.

RACE 4:

ARADO (6) did well latest EF 4th @ 1200m with race not run to suit. The 1350m and small field are assets to his winning prospects. FALINO (3) gets a real chance today with rails alley. REGULAR (4) was a litte disappointing last Sat but better guide is track and trip win 2 runs back. Rough chances 2 and 5.

RACE 5:

Wide open. MALING (2) is a last start track and trip winner 3 weeks ago and from the rails gate will go forward and the 3kg claim assists. MUKADDAMAH SON (1) is racing well without winning but is certain to go well here. SAM'S TOWN (4) can be the improver getting out to the middle distance. Rough chances 3, 5, 6 and 7.

RACE 6:

Good quality race but tipping LONDEHERO (2) and QUEEN OF THE LOCHS (5) to quinella again but the other way around. QUEEN OF THE LOCHS (5) gets all the favours off the rails alley while LONDEHERO (2) will have to work his way through. HALLSIDE ROSE (4) is a smart filly and trialled well at Sunshine Coast but draw might be difficult. Rough chances 1, 6, 7 and 8.

RACE 7:
DOLLY DOLLY (5) sprinted impressively to win 1st-up at EF. Stays on a light weight and small field assists. ELMANTOSH (9) breezed home at EF 2 weeks ago but steps up in grade now and is short enough in fixed odds trading. HOUR OF PERIL (3) will get a good run and was just touched off last start. Rough chances 1, 2, 7 and 8.

RACE 8:

Wide open. COME SAID THE BOY (2) appeals at odds. Solid 3rd this track and trip 3 weeks ago and the one alley is a big help here with a 3kg claim. Keen each-way. SPOT THE ROCK (3) will get a good run with Cahill riding while QUICK'S THE WORD (9) is the expected leader but the last bit might worry. Rough chances 1, 6, 8, 11 and 12.

BEST BET: ANNA LIZZIE (Race 3).

BEST EACHWAY: COME SAID THE BOY (Race 8).

BEST ROUGHIE: TRAJET (Race 5).

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 4, 5 / 2, 4, 5 / 2, 3, 5, 9 / 1, 2, 3, 9, 11.
