DOOMBEN, JUNE 27: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, June 27, 2015

Form assessed for a good 3 (inside 6m unused since Stradbroke day 3 weeks ago).

RACE 1:

Plenty of positive signs for the first starter RAINBOW NATION (12). Well bred, in good hands and never out of second gear in Rosehill trial win. Plenty of money for him at fixed odds since betting opened. REAL GOOD (1) will boxseat and be competitive. Solid Ipswich 2nd last start. PRIVLAKA (2) looked promising at midweek level first-up. Rough chances 8, 10 and 15.

RACE 2:

Typical staying race. KOBI CREEK (10) has been placed at his past 6 runs and is really going well. Should be foolproof eachway. FRETON (2) is a veteran but well up to a race of this type. SHOTOVER RIVER (3) had too hard a run last start but will be competitive at this level. Rough chances 4, 7, 11 and 13.

RACE 3:

MCHAWI (4) is a go-forward Sydneysider who has been placed 7 of 9 and placed up to 1300m. Might be too good for these. VINNIE LOVES ME (15) was creditable 1st-up and placed this track and trip. Maps well. SAVANERO (1) is another Sydneysider set for this and better suited this trip than first-up Gosford 4th. Rough chances 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11 and 16.

RACE 4:

MYWAYORTHEHIGHWAY (2) has been more than creditable past 2 runs and can lead all the way today. MISCHIEVOUS DEVIL (5) won well Ipswich a fortnight ago and this is a similar assignment. LUCKY TOM (1) is coming off the Group Carnival races and expected to run well. Rough chances 3, 4, 8, 14 and 15.

RACE 5:

SEEKING MORE (4) disappointed me in the Lightning but more than prepared to give him another chance today. Jumps in front or boxseats. THINKHESAURUS (7) is a smart short courser who will be competitive. ROCKY KING (1) will have admirers but I have a slight concern with the barrier. Rough chances 2, 3 and 5.

RACE 6:

HIDDEN PEARL (10) is a quick mare and in form. Still nicely weighted with the 2kg claim and I expect her to lead all the way. FAITH N COURAGE (7) is assisted by a good alley and can provide the quinella result. TRUE ROYAL (14) can improve at odds. Rough chances 1, 2, 4 and 9.

RACE 7:

TUKIYO (4) has been solid at her past 2 at Group and Listed level and the 3kg claim is significant. Either leads or outside leader. Hard to beat JAZZ SONG (5) profiles similarly to TUKIYO and will run well while RIVA DE LAGO (1) ran well in the Eyeliner after winning the Glasshouse. Rough chances 3 and 7.

RACE 8:

DUBAWI DREAM (5) has been good in three Qld runs since arriving from NSW. This distance looks right and maps well, following a strong tempo. Keen. Save on HEART OF A WARRIOR (10) who went too keenly last time out but drops 5kg for this. BILLY AUCASH (2) is generally competitive at this level. Rough chances 3, 12 and 14.

BEST BET: DUBAWI DREAM (Race 8).

BEST EACHWAY: KOBI CREEK (Race 2).

BEST ROUGHIE: FRETON (Race 2).

QUADRELLA: 1, 2, 4, 7 / 10 / 1, 3, 4, 5 / 2, 5, 10, 12.
