DOOMBEN, JULY 13: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, July 13, 2013

Form assessed for a slow 6 but on the better side of that.

RACE 1:

CAPE KIDNAPPERS (4) was beaten on a very heavy track at S/Coast but his only two defeats have been on heavy. Atones now. ALL THAT (3) is excellent 1st/up and leads for a long way while AZZALAND (1) isn't getting any younger but is a classy short-courser. Rough chance 5.

RACE 2:

Open race. LITTLE BIT DITSY (11) beat a weaker midweek field on debut but I suspect is above-average. Easy trial Tuesday. Cahill and good alleys are a plus. TISANI TOMSO (6) is quick early, rails gate helps and is two from two. CHOOSE A SAGA (2) rarely runs bad race. Rough chances 1,4,9 and 10.

RACE 3:

KELBENJAR (1) drawn the rails with Cahill riding and will get a perfect trip. Bet with confidence each-way @ $6.5 fixed. THE FIFTH HOLE (5) will lead for a long way while in-form Hunter Valley sprinter YOUTHFUL KING (4) will give them a start but is strong at finish. Rough chances 2 and 8.

RACE 4:

Open race. ALCANCIA (2) runs well from week to week, excels on soft and EF 7th last Sat was sound. Three kilo claim is another tick. COMAHNI (6) gets a good run from this gate and can be competitive. MISS BRADBURY (4) found it too wet S/Coast 6th and do better now. Rough chances 1,3,5 and 9.

RACE 5:

FLYING HOME (4) will be suited by the smaller field and the strong finisher looks hard to beat. HOW FAIRDINKUM (11) gets a good run from its gate and is in form. CLANGOR (10) doesn't win out of turn but might go forward and likes it soft. Rough chances 2 and 7.

RACE 6:

Keen on MISHANI WARRIOR (2) who never runs a bad race and comes off S/Coast win on a track that didn't suit him. Bet with confidence each-way. INSIDE JOB (8) has good Sydney form but little concerned by wide alley. ALTAI WARRIOR (5) can be hard to catch but genuine tempo will assist. Rough chances 1,3,6,7 and 9.

RACE 7:

LOADED (10) blasted them away last Sat at EF and no reason why he can't beat these with three kilos less. LUCKY HUSSLER (9) is obvious danger. Been going super in good 3yo races and will get a perfect trip. FIREBOLT (1) will find this easier than Sydney runs, Cahill booked and one alley helps. Rough chances 3,4,6,12 and 13.

RACE 8:

Open race. You'll have your heart in your mouth with DISCREET (1) who will be nearly last in running but she has a super sprint and is in great form. Take the gamble. GENERAL EXHIBIT (2) meets DISCREET better at weight and will get a good trip but was beaten 3.3l by her last time. SMAKATUS (9) was well backed 1st/up S/Coast win and can run well again. Rough chances 3,10,11,13 and 16.

BEST BET: KELBENJAR (Race 3).

BEST EACHWAY: MISHANI WARRIOR (Race 6).

BEST ROUGHIE: STARSTEAMED (Race 3).

QUADRELLA: 4, 10, 11 / 2 and 8 / 1, 9, 10 / 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 16.
