What a saving grace Doomben has been for QLD racing! Back here AGAIN Wednesday for an 8 race card. If you are at home watching on Sky Chanel,  see a big crowd and wonder WTF? , Its EKAA race day, a big day on the social calendar in Brisbane.

 

Race 1

 

Happy to spec 1 CAUTHEN’S POWER at what looks good price in a small field. He can settle near the speed in the small field and looks to have a slight class edge. He has won 2 from 3 seconds up, only a slight query with horses needing a run or 2 for fitness, as they get older. If he can run up to his Sydney from last prep, he will be hard to beat.

 

Numbers:  1 – 2 – 3 – 4

 

Suggested Bet: Each Way 1 CAUTHEN’S POWER  $6 bet now

 

Race 2

 

9 SKY TEAM looks the horse with the most upside in this.  He was no match for the winner Miss Arabellalast time, but his sectionals were good enough to suggest the step to the mile is suitable.

 

Numbers:  9 –10 – 1 – 3

 

Suggested Bet: WIN 9 SKY TEAM  $3.4 bet now

 

Race 3

 

1 TARZAN from the inside gate should be able to hold the lead comfortably from the inside gate and looks hard to get past.  He has a good first up record and has trialed well for this. He did win under these conditions at Doomben when first up last preparation, I think it’s a case of history repeating.

 

 

Numbers: 1 – 8 – 6 – 2

 

Suggested Bet: WIN 1 TARZAN  $2.8 bet now

 

Race 4

 

8 SNOW FIELDS is in the “Should have won last start” category. Never got a clear crack in the straight. This race looks slightly deeper, but if she got out and won that day, she would be half the price here.  There looks enough speed in and around her to get a nice run in transit, and be in the finish.

 

 

Numbers: 8 – 7 – 6 – 5

 

Suggested Bet:  Each Way 8 SNOWFIELDS  $7.5 bet now

 

Race 5

 

5 MONTANA PINES gets his chance to break through here off an encouraging first up run.  He got well back and was strong through the line, in what has been a reasonable form race. The step to 1350m is suitable, with a tempo that can allow him to settle a bit closer here.

 

Numbers:  5 – 3 – 10 – 11

 

Suggested Bet: Each Way 5 MONTANA PINES  $6.5 bet now

 

Race 6

 

2 PUZZLING WONDER comes here off Sydney Highway form behind CARE TO THINK. The form through that horse has been exceptional in QLD. He should get the run of the race from the gate and is hardest to beat.

 

 

Numbers: 2 – 9 – 3 – 1

 

Suggested Bet: 1 x 2 Each Way 2 PUZZLING WONDER  $4.4 bet now

 

Race 7

 

Speed here from 3 Royal Myth should ensure 1 CELLARGIRL can slide up the fence and get a nice run in transit.  A listed winner first up last time, if she’s ready she will win.

 

 

Numbers:  1 – 2 – 3 – 8

 

Suggested Bet: WIN 1 CELLARGIRL  $2.2 bet now

 

Race 8

 

2 NO ANNAMOSITY was a nice return when getting home well behind the inform HAVASAY last start.  He is a genuine city Saturday horse, and as long as D Browne can settle him a bit closer from the inside draw, and get the run at the top of the straight, he will be beating them.

 

 

Numbers:  2 – 6 – 8 – 1

 

Suggested Bet: WIN 2 NO ANNOMOSITY  $2.6 bet now
