DOOMBEN, OCTOBER 3: DAVID FOWLER SELECTS ...

By David Fowler | Saturday, October 3, 2015

Selections for Doomben today. Please note selections have been posted before the 7.30am final scratchings deadline

RACE 1:

All first starters. CASH DASH (1) and VULPENI (3) both won their trials at the Gold Coast in good style and have inside barriers to consolidate their claims. CASH DASH ran slightly quicker time and I'll give him the edge off the rails over VULPENI. DIETERS (2) was quick and professional in his Deagon trial win and must be respected. Rough chances 6, 8 and 9.

RACE 2:

All first starters. DANGEROUS DESIRE (1) looked sharp in Deagon trial win, sitting wide and running slighter faster time than the other two-year-old heat. Hard to beat. SPOT THE DIFF (2) was quick and professional in a Sunshine Coast trial win and the time stacked up quite well on the morning. Alley is no help. SHES A FOXY LADY (11) has some chance on her Deagon trial 2nd. Rough chances 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10.

RACE 3:

SEEKING MORE (1) is a real pro at this track and trip and maps to sit outside the leader. Kept fresh for this and hard to beat. Should be foolproof eachway. MISS COVER GIRL (3) won 1st-up last campaign at 1200m. Thought she worked super between races at Doomben last Saturday. ARCHITECT (2) is a natural top three prospect. Rough chances 4 and 5.

RACE 4:

Several form lines to try and compare. TARBERT (11) drops 5kg on latest Sunshine Coast 3rd which is an advantage. He is one-paced but appeals eachway around $10 fixed. IM BELUCCI (2) is going to give these a start off the wide gate but he is a strong finisher and promising. REAL EGO (3) has shaped well and maps to get a good run. There are other lesser chances. Rough chances 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

RACE 5:

DANISH TWIST (3) profiles well for is. Lightly-raced Sydney visitor, maps to either lead or box seat and last start Rosehill run was sound. Might be an anchor for an open quaddie. SISTER EMMA (2) doesn't win out of turn but is rarely far away and should finish top 3 while DYSFUNCTION (4) comes out of the same race as SISTER EMMA and has some chance. Thinking the favourite is close to a good thing. Rough chances 1, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11.

RACE 6:

Wide open but don't think GLENDARA (1) will miss a a place and around $5 to $6 fixed looks an attractive bet. Ran well first-up in a better field than this and maps to travel just off leaders with same weight. GOTYACOVERED (3) has a good strike rate (5 from 10) and will be on pace while stablemate NOZAWA (11) is also promising and drawn to boxseat. Rough chances 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14.

RACE 7:

Wide open. STEEL ZIP (1) is currently airborne and despite the wide gate I think he will be highly competitive again. KURTLEY (5) is a Queensland maiden but keeps running good races in NSW and maps as being in or near the lead. CASARATI (2) is drawn to get all the favuors and continues to race well. There are other winning chances Rough chances 2, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 13.

RACE 8:

TOTAL AUTHORITY (13) is blessed with a good alley and a decent weight drop on last week’s 2nd. Should lead and take catching and is liberal odds around $10 fixed. The race will be run at a solid tempo so backmarkers such as JACKS JET (8) fresh and second-upper TINA MELINA (16) will be arriving late. Rough chances 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 15.

BEST BET:- DANISH TWIST (Race 5).

BEST EACHWAY:- GLENDARA (Race 6).

BEST ROUGHIE:- IN THE GENES (Race 7).

QUADRELLA: 3 / 1, 3, 11, 14 / 1, 5, 10, 13, 14 / 1, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16.
