Doomben Race 1 - Gallopers Sports Club Hcp
Tricky race to kick off the card with many of these babies at the races for the first time. Of the raced brigade EVER SO READY (1) has been right there in both Saturday outings this campaign and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Ready to peak now third-up from the spell and looks the one they all have to run down. DOLLY BOOM (6) ran third in a rich Gold Coast contest on debut before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since tuned up for this with a solid trial win and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. RUN LIKE A GIRL (8) is another resuming but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race of this calibre. In the mix. SETTLE THIS (5) is on debut but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. The well-bred BERZELIUS (2) (out of dual-Listed winner Secret Liaison) next best out of the astute stable.

Gelding by Better Than Ready facing the starter for the first time. Half-brother to six-time winner Happy Tango. Dam was a winner of two races. Was runner-up in a trial at Dalby on April 7 over 800m. Prefer to see.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Home Affairs out of Apamurra. Half-brother to four-time winner Podium. Won a jump-out at Ballarat on March 23. After that fifth at Deagon in a 650m trial on April 14. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Spirit Of Boom out of Chroma. Full-brother to six-time winner Tarps. Dam was unraced. Was second in a 1050m trial on April 14 at Deagon. Cannot be underestimated.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign eighth of 10 at Gold Coast 2yo F SWP January 10 over 1100m, 6 len behind Shiki with 56kg at $101. When resuming last campaign third of 10 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw December 26 over 1000m, soft track; 1.4 len behind Vanzadee with 56kg at $5. Everything points to a positive return.
