Doomben Race 1 - Portland Sky First Crop Yearlings @ Widden Hcp
The babies kick us off with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. MILESTONE (8) is one of them but has shown plenty of ability dominating a recent Sunny Coast trial and gets the services of Orman for her debut. Draws low in gate three and a strong showing would not surprise. LA BELLA BOOM (6) was well in the betting here when at the races for the first time and wasn't disgraced with a handy third. Where there's smoke there's fire and can improve enough to take this out. DON'TDOUBTHELADY (5) got the maiden out of the way at Rockhampton first time at the races and will have taken confidence from that first-up victory. In the mix. CUDDLES FOR KIMMY (3) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but go on the strong win here two back. Can return to form. MR DEMOCRAT (2) hails from a handy family (full to Listed winner Steady Ready) and is sure to be well-educated from the Bruce barn. Respect any market confidence.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Better Than Ready out of Uzbekistan. Dam was winner of two races. Won a barrier trial over 850m at Sunshine Coast Inner Track on November 12. Cannot be underestimated.

Jack Bruce trained two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Full-brother to Listed winner Steady Ready. Dam was a winner of one race. Was purchased for AUD $120,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Looked good in a recent trial win. Keep very safe.

First starter by Better Than Ready out of Rockette Rocket. Dam was a winner of nine races. Ran second in Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial over 850m November 12. Barrier an advantage. Recent trial at Sunshine Coast Inner Track was encouraging enough so respect any betting activity.

Two-year-old filly lining up for debut. Half-sister to eight-start maiden Rivelly. Dam was a winner of five races. Readied for this with a commanding trial win, scoring by 5.3 lengths at Sunshine Coast Inner Track over 850m on November 12. Drawn well and expect a bold showing at debut.
