Doomben Race 2 - Gallopers Sports Club Mdn Plate
CERONS (4) resumes here but has been plying his trade in harder races down south and will appreciate the drop back in grade in this. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. SPELLHOUND (12) has been thereabouts in both career outings and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Doesn't need to improve much to be playing a role in the outcome. ABENDER (1) has been well found in both starts so far and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. In the mix. SHAQUE D'AMOUR (11) has placed at his past three outings and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Keep safe. RUINS OF ROME (10) strips fitter second-up and may earn some minor money.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 4th of 10 at Gold Coast 3yo Mdn on February 22 over 1015m, slow going 0.9 len behind King Spirit carrying 57kg at $5.50. Last start second last of 10 at Eagle Farm 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Trapeze Alert with 58kg at $3.10. Worth another chance.

Is first-up after a break of six-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before.

Three-year-old gelding (Shalaa - Methyar) who was bought for AUD $20,000 (Inglis 2023 Classic Yearling Sale). Full-brother to two-time winner Gold Bucket. He has five recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Beaudesert on April 7 over 1050m. Aided by a nice alley so worth watching for any market confidence.

Second-up. First-up after three months came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Beaudesert Mdn on March 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Shape Of Water with 58kg at $7. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Seymour 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 29 over 1300m, 6 len behind MacEdon Rose carrying 58kg at $21. Good return but looks safely held against this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 9 at Eagle Farm Cg&E Mdn-Sw on March 12 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Lantau Island with 57kg at $8. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1350m, 4 len behind Our Benefactor carrying 56kg at $3.50. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 800m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Spartus with 57.5kg at $2.80. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on February 5 over 800m, slow going 2.25 len behind Hidden Nugget with 57.5kg at $4.40. Sure to be about the money again.
