DOOMBEN, JULY 26: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, July 26, 2014

Form assessed for a dead 4 (possible upgrade).

Race 1:

BINGO ROSE (3) ran well EF 1200m 3 weeks ago and this suits better against own sex and extra 150m. CENTREPET (6) is mapped to get a good run either in front or box-seat. Was a length behind BINGO ROSE at their last meeting. SLOTS (11) will get a good run on speed and last start 4th track and trip was creditable. Rough chances 2, 4 and 5.

Race 2:

DISCREET (4) comes back in distance but a significant weight drop, small field and strong tempo are big pluses for her. Watch her ping late. EXCELLANTES (1) loves this track and distance and is well weighted with claim. JEFFERSON PARK (7) is up in class but secures a good run in transit. Rough chances 5 and 6.

Race 3:

WORTHY CAUSE (3) was brilliant on debut S/Coast then ran into a smart one at EF midweek when time was quick. Can atone now. TOP TONE (1) must be considered on latest track and trip 3rd while GAME OF FAME (14) is worth watching 1st-up after good city runs in autumn. Rough chances 12, 15 and 17.

Race 4:

SOLEBID (10) is my best roughie of the day on his latest unlucky D’bn 4th. Should race closer now from better barrier. VOLKHERE (7) and SHOTOVER RIVER (9) will run well on their performances here a fortnight ago. Rough chances 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 11.

Race 5:

MONBAZILLAC (10) has blinkers back on and with Colless riding from good gate can run well. Latest track and trip 3rd was sound. HARADA BAY (6) generally performs well 1st-up and has had 2 trials to fit him for this. ROBBERS ROOST (11) might lead these and take some catching. Rough chances 2, 4, and 9.

Race 6:

OAK N ARTHUR (3) is a promising 3yo who can win again after beat a good 3yo field last Saturday. HORA SEXTA (4) will get back but find the line well. SON OF COCO (8) is on the back-up from a track and trip win Wednesday. Likely leader. Rough chances 7 and 13.

Race 7:

EPIC (3) strikes a suitable race. Fourth-up at the mile, drawn to get the right run in a race which will be run at a good tempo. Worked hard latest D’bn 7th. ELMANTOSH (8) is down in the weights and will finish off hard. FERMENT (4) was solid latest EF win ands drops 4.5kg. Rough chances 1, 2, 5, 6 and 9.

Race 8:

HEZA BOBBY DAZZLER (2) is up 3.5kg but was ultra impressive 1st-up in similar company. Can make it 5 from 7. SCHILLACKING (9) can provide the quinella result again while CHOOSE A SAGA (3) is well drawn and is good 2nd-up. Rough chances 4, 5, 7, 13, 17 and 19.

BEST BET: EPIC (Race 7).

BEST EACHWAY: MONBAZILLAC (Race 5).

BEST ROUGHIE: SOLEBID (Race 4).

QUADRELLA: 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11 / 3, 4, 7, 8 / 3, 8 / 2, 3, 9.
