DOOMBEN, MARCH 28: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, March 28, 2015

Form assessed for a soft 7 (surely a chance of an upgrade).

RACE 1:

Keen on SECRET SAGA (8). Couldn’t have been more impressive on debut here last January and seems destined for better things. REDSSON (2) is the likely leader and appeals as the logical second pick. MILITARY MISS (12) ran well last campaign, trialled OK for this and blinkers on. Rough chance 13.

RACE 2:

Small staying field with front runner PERPLEXITY (1), the short-priced favourite, bound to lead all the way again as he did at the Gold Coast a fortnight ago. SECRET GARDEN (4) can provide the quinella result again. TIPS N TALES (6) is a place hope on last week’s strong finishing 2nd. Rough chances 2 and 7.

RACE 3:

FOREIGN PRINCE (1) arrives with a good enough Sydney profile to beat these. Well drawn with 2kg claim and no dramas with rain affected track. MS BA BELLA (4) is a competitive mare who should finish top 3. MR ALFRANCO (9) has gone through his easier classes in good style and drawn to get all the favours in this. Rough chances 2, 5, 6, 7 and 11.

RACE 4:

CRAFTINESS (6) is at a good things’ price but looks a good thing. Only beaten once in six Sydney runs and seems destined for bigger things. Ticks every box. LUCKY METEOR (4) is a nifty sprinter and with the light weight again will run well after impressive S/Coast win in quick time. Strong quinella. MR FAVULOUS (3) is the best of the others. Rough chances 1 and 2.

RACE 5:

Keen on DENARIUS (5). Finally draws a decent gate and the 1350m seems an ideal progression from the 1200m. Solid tempo assists. TRUBIA (7) is above-average and will run in the top 3 providing he gets some luck from the wide alley. WORTHY CAUSE (4) has had a trial since D’bn 6th Feb 14. Strong finisher at best. Rough chances 1, 2 and 9.

RACE 6:

TORNADO MISS (4) will roll forward off widish alley and be competitive. Won well Ipswich 1200m fresh and 1350m seems ideal 2nd-up. AIMEE (3) is drawn to get all the favours and will look the winner somewhere in the straight. NICKY NOCKY (9) is ultra-consistent and box-seats from the rails. A must include for exotics. Rough chances 2, 8, 12 and 16.

RACE 7:

SIR MOMENTS (1) is the class runner and normally runs well 2nd-up. First-up GC 6th was sound. Back him and save on HOPFGARTEN (3) who runs well fresh and trialled well recently at Deagon. BLACK CASH (7) is a soft-footer with the rails alley so can be competitive. Rough chances 2, 6, 9 and 11.

RACE 8:

HE DON’T CARE (4) is in peak form and drawn to lead all the way. GUN CASE (8) needed the run 1st-up but needs to lift a cog or two to win this. ROYAL SHOUT (13) likes the bite out of the track and will run on strongly. Rough chances 2 and 15.

BEST BET: CRAFTINESS.

BEST EACHWAY; DENARIUS.

NO BEST ROUGHIE.

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 / 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 / 1, 3, 5, 7 / 4, 8, 13.
