The surfing is over and we move back to Brisbane and head to the hallowed turf of Doomben racecourse. It is an eight race card and we will be racing on what will be a soft 5 track with the rail out ten metres for the entire course and the first race to jump at 12.33pm.
Race 1: MAIDEN (1660M)
The form around this race is pretty average but Power Flash who came out of Sir Carters race was ok last start and was wide the trip. From barrier two and Angela Jones she can be much more positive and she doesn’t carry any extra weight here. So she gets in well.
Race 2: MAIDEN (1200M)
Not wildly keen here but Deep Respect was caught out on the weekend by Tidal Creek but beat everything else home and Quade looked the winner the start prior in behind Deep Respect and did all the donkey work leading the field into the race. He will be fitter third up here and with Jimmy Orman on can get it done here.
Race 3: Benchmark 75 (1660M)
Magic Conqueror was pretty poor first up but rectified that second up going down less than a length to Azzareach on a track that was heavily suited to those on pace. While his third record is poor he loves this track and distance and handles a bit of sting out of the deck too.
Race 4: Benchmark 68 (2060M)
The daily Chris Waller middle distance benchmark 68 is back on the schedule again and he has a few good chances here but we will not be playing in this race.
Race 5: MAIDEN (1200M)
Hello punters the lottery line is calling, we would like you to donate. Pass!
Race 6: Benchmark 70 (1200M)
I think Spill the Tears and Pocket Full will both run very well but Bubba’s Bay after a nice first win in Queensland and the form from down south is standing up very nicely. She was in behind Tintookie three starts ago and he has since won on a Saturday. Barrier eight is slightly tricky but if he gets across he can be winning as favourite here.
Race 7: Class 3 (1350M)
This is an ok little race here and we are gamblers and we are backing one of our own in here. Military Gambler was less than a length off Shamaton last start and beat home My Odette who went well at Beaudesert the other day and Magic Conqueror who showed up last start and goes around earlier in the day who we are also keen on.
Race 8: Class 1 (1200M)
Outlawed has the form on the board but barrier 18 is poison and the rest of the field is a dartboard job.
