DOOMBEN MAY 10: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, May 10, 2014

Form assessed for a good 3.

RACE 1:

Confident about ELUSIVE STORM (1) winning again after three straight. Makes her own luck and jockey rides her well. MAGIC IN MOTION (4) should provide the quinella result again while MISS BRADBURY (7) often has bad luck but can feature today. Rough chance 8.

RACE 2:

KING KAMADA (1) comes from New Zealand with a good record and is well placed in a benchmark 90. Rails alley is a plus. LADY ECHELON (2) has the form on the board and the alley to race in the box seat. Main danger. CRACCO (7) is an on-pacer who is highly consistent. Must for the top three. Rough chances 3, 5, 8 and 10.

RACE 3:

HAVANA (6) is an above-average Sydney visitor who has always raced in Group or Listed company apart from an easy maiden win at Canterbury. OK in the Royal Sovereign at Randwick and will settle closer here with McEvoy. AGITATE (2) flies out and will take catching while ROUGH COPY (9) is a lightly raced Kiwi with ability. Rough chances 1, 8 and 14.

RACE 4:

SHAUMARI (10) has only raced twice for an easy Warwick Farm win and then a good Randwick 3rd. Good tempo suits her finishing style. ELOPING (8) is the leader and is in form. Take catching. MOHAVE (2) did nothing wrong in four runs so far during summer and had an easy recent trial. Rough chances 1, 3 6 and 11.

RACE 5:

DANCHAI (2) is ready to win after three runs since arriving in Australia. Caught the eye latest Randwick 2nd. Waller/Rawiller combination with a good gate are pluses. LAUREN TATE (4) won a Group 2 in NZ last start and looks progressive. ZENNISTA (1) campaigned well here last year. Prefers it wetter but don’t sell her short. Rough chances 3, 10, 11 and 13.

RACE 6:

PHEIDON (2) is a lightly-raced Sydney visitor who showed his class winning a feature at Moonee Valley and a solid 2nd at Randwick last start. Gets perfect run off rails gate with Rawiller riding. GLORIOUS LAD (4) and TELEPATHIC (14) arrive from NZ with raps and form to back up those raps. Rough chances 3, 7 and 10.

RACE 7:
SPIRIT OF BOOM (2) was terrific in the Victory when 2nd and will zip home late here and upset BUFFERING (1) who will look the winner until the last few bounds. TEMPLE OF BOOM (3) can provide an all Queensland trifecta. Rough chances 4 and 5.

RACE 8:

Great betting race. SEEKING MORE (3) is an underrated sprinter who loves the track and distance and has a top chance at odds available. EXCELLANTES (1) has some class on many of these and D.Browne can offset the wide alley while QFIGHTER (8) will rattle home late. Rough chances 2, 4 and 5.

BEST BET; ELUSIVE STORM (race 1).

BEST EACHWAY: SEEKING MORE (Race 8).

BEST ROUGHIE: ROUGH COPY (Race 3).

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 / 2, 4, 14 / 1, 2 / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8.
