Doomben Race 3 - Mark Hopsick Hcp (C3)
The well-related BRAVEHEART (1) (full to G2 winner King Of Sparta) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top five at his past ten starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Rates the testing material. WINCHMAN (2) got a well-deserved Gold Coast win last time out and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now. POWDER MAN (3) had been thereabouts in tougher Sydney metro Highways before the spell and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Has to be included in calculations. THANKYOU HENRY (4) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough for a race like this. Can bounce back. EAGLE'S FIRE (7) rounds out the selections.

Full-brother to Group 2 winner King Of Sparta. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Ipswich Cg&E Cl2-Sw on June 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Fire Bomber with 58kg at $4.40. The race before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Gold Coast C4-Sw on May 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Sunrise carrying 57kg at $3.70. Tough to beat.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation failed to finish at Sunshine Coast Cl2 January 1 over 1200m. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.9 len Goulburn Bm66 September 25 over 1100m defeating Boomtown Chat carrying 59kg at $1.80. Assuming he is back on track this prep so worth considering.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Toowoomba Bm58 on June 20 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Thunder Award with 59.5kg at $2.90. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.9 len at Toowoomba Mdn-Sw May 30 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Reign Of Dame carrying 58kg at $3.10. Going well but this is a tougher assignment.
