1. Milk Man | Placed last start at long odds at Doomben on a heavy track. One for the multiples. |
2. Get The Idea | Last start winner at Doomben when resuming and up in trip. Rates as one of the key chances. |
3. Don't Stop | Only just missed in driving finish last start at Doomben on a heavy track and proven perfromer on a soft track. Drawn ideally. Hard to hold out. |
4. Ocean Treaty | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Doomben on a soft track when fresh and has gone well on a softer track. Multiple wins at the track. Go well. |
5. Fort Wayne | Returns from six week let-up. Ran eighth last start at Doomben when first up but trial placing in 45 days since last race adds confidence but look to others. |
6. Couldn't Refuse | Never in the race last start at Doomben and won once this prep at Sunshine Coast Poly two runs back. Jim Byrne has had success aboard previously but look to others. |
7. Bold Pedro | Coming off a win at Rockhampton and rates well in these conditons. Trial placing since last race 28 days ago adds confidence. Among the main chances. |
8. Maevila Ruler | Laid in near 800m 6 len 2nd of 10 (6) $2.45F 56.0 Factory Warrior 1300m Toowoomba (Bm70) Good(4) July 9. Raced three wide. Carried wide near 1000m 5-1/4 len 7th of 14 (10) $31.00 55.0 Bentley Magic 1615m Doomben (Bm75) Heavy(8) July 23. |
9. Count The Coin | Just missed at long odds last start at Doomben on a heavy track but without a win in six runs at the track. Forward showing no surprise. |
10. Donandkim | Came on to finish midfield last start at Doomben on a soft track and just the one placing this campaign at the track. Should be near the speed in a race without much early pace. Unlikely. |
