Doomben Race 1 - Mekka Raceday 16 August Mdn Plate
The maiden babies kick us off. COOL MOON (12) finished runner-up in both starts to commence the career before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since returned with a solid fourth around this circuit and will have taken plenty of benefit from that hit-out. Drawn to get a gun run from gate two and rates the testing material against this lot. HIT THE SWITCH (4) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and is sure to be well-educated from the Hoysted yard. Respect any market confidence. BLITZWATER (11) just missed the placings over this course and distance on debut and maps well from the inside marble. Top-three aspirations with natural improvement. GOZO (3) is another at the races for the first time but won a recent trial here and gets some weight off with Lang's claim. Keep safe. CASTIGLIONE (17) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money.

Two-year-old gelding making debut by Farnan out of Lecture. Half-brother to two-time winner Greatestofease. Dam was a winner of two races. Purchased for AUD $200,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Was second in a 1050m barrier trial on June 10 at Deagon. No surprise to see him feature.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw on January 4 over 800m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Lonesome Soul with 58kg at $5. Went for a break before returning 8th of 11 at Sunshine Coast 2yo C&G Mdn-Sw on May 30 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Prestar with 58kg at $8. Will benefit from that run and is a definite top-three hope.

Two-year-old gelding (Yes Yes Yes - Rosie's Halo) who was bought for AUD $60,000 (Inglis 2024 Classic Yearling Sale). Half-brother to Listed winner and dual-Group 3 placed Superium. Dam was a one-start maiden. He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Gold Coast over 1000m on June 17. Any market support will add to the confidence.
