EAGLE FARM, MARCH 1: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, March 1, 2014

Form assessed for a good 3 track.

RACE 1:

I AM BOSS (1) is a capable youngster, quick early with a good gate and suited at the 1000m. Top pick. WICKED TEMPTATION (6) is a promising maiden who ran well during the spring while JEB’S BOY (2) was well fancied and won well in an easier race in T’ba. Rough chances 3, 5 and 7.

RACE 2:

Little between PLUMAGE (3) and SENTA DESERT (4) on last week’s runs but tipping PLUMAGE to turn the tables on SENTA DESERT. CABALLO RAPIDO (5) won’t be far behind them. Rough chances 1, 2, and 6.

RACE 3:

RENEWED VITALITY (5) is in good form and is drawn to lead all the way. HARADA BAY (3) has blinkers on today and will be hitting the line well. HEARTFELT QUEST (1) is in form in easier races but shouldn’t be sold short here. Rough chances 2, 4, 8 and 9.

RACE 4:

MR FAVULOUS (7) is a good gamble on both totes. Drawn to get a perfect run with G.Colless riding and excels at the 1000m at EF. ROCKET TO GLORY (3) will jump to the lead and take catching while SEEKING MORE (4) was very good in latest track and trip win but does go up 4kg now. Rough chances 2, 6, 8, 9.

RACE 5:

FRENCH LESSON (1) goes up 4kg on latest D’bn 3rd but it was a fantastic run, sitting wide in a fast run race yet going to the line as well as anything. Better draw a plus. STARGRILL BOY (2) comes into the race with similar form lines and D.Browne booked. ALLKNIGHT SAINT (10) is a promising type who can feature in the top 3. Rough chances 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11.

RACE 6:

Was impressed with INTERJECT’s (7) win at GC in early January. Flew home and posted impressive sectionals and can race handier here. Goes well fresh into the bargain. MAGIC IN MOTION (4) resumes today but has trialled well and generally performs first-up. TEAR IT UP (6) was average last start D’bn 10th but weight drop and better gate now. Rough chances 1, 5, 10, 11 and 17.

RACE 7:

FLYING HOME (3) finds a suitable assignment as a last start track and trip winner. Gets a good run here and down 3kg. MISHANI WARRIOR (2) was impressive latest 1350m D’bn win and chance again but slight query at a mile. FILLYDELPHIA (1) would love a shower or two but too classy to leave out. Rough chances 4, 5, 7, 8, 9.

RACE 8: TOTAL AUTHORITY (12) was a surprise packet in D’bn 1200m win a month ago but with a good gate and a 3kg claim, must be respected again. ARCHITECT (4) was fantastic latest D’bn 3rd and chance again if he can reproduce that. LONDEHERO (1) died on his run 1st-up but worth another chance with blinkers on. Rough chances 2, 3, 7, 13 and 14.

BEST BET: MR FAVULOUS (Race 4).

BEST EACHWAY: FRENCH LESSON (Race 5).

BEST ROUGHIE: IN THE SKY ROCKET (Race 8).

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 6, 10, 11 / 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 17 / 1, 2, 3, 5 / 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14.
