Doomben Race 1 - The Gibson Hcp
TENGUN TOMMY (1) met with solid support and was most impressive last start, overcoming a poor getaway to charge home and score over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Lines up for the hat trick and over an extra 200m today it looks very achievable. MY GIRL MARLEY (11) has raced twice and gone close on each occasion, most recently beaten a whisker over 1100m at Ipswich. Takes on some better types this time but she is progressive and well in at the weights. CASCADING (12) gave away at least five lengths when they straightened but cut the margin to just over two when resuming in the same race as TENGUN TOMMY over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast recently. Sure to prove hard to hold out over a bit more ground. HIDDEN WHISPER (8) last appeared when successful on debut over 1110m here in April. Cannot be underestimated. JUNGLE RHYTHM (4) returned impressively at Rockhampton last start although this is a different kettle of fish. Each-way.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.6 len at this track 2yo Hcp June 3 over 1110m defeating Invincible Chase carrying 57.5kg at $2.70. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.7 len at Sunshine Coast 2yo Hcp July 4 over 1000m in soft going defeating Areprice with 57kg at $2.30. Racing well. No tougher this time so another win looks on the cards.

Most recently 3rd of 13 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Hcp on July 4 over 1000m, slow going 2 len behind Tengun Tommy carrying 56kg at $26. The race before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 12 at Gold Coast Mm Nat 2yo SW on May 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind The Next Episode carrying 55kg at $61. Solid top three prospects.

Third race start. First start 2nd in a small field at Sunshine Coast 2yo Hcp on March 13 over 1000m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind Sling with 59kg at $5.50. Went for a break before returning ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Rockhampton 2yo Mdn June 19 over 1100m in soft going defeating Power Of Angeline with 59kg at $6.50. Much tougher this time but can sneak into the frame.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by a nose at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw July 3 over 1100m defeating My Girl Marley with 58kg at $16. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Toowoomba 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 21 over 1000m, 8 len behind On The Clock carrying 58kg at $31. Tougher here and the ratings indicate he will struggle to feature in the finish.

Resuming after a break; only one run when tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw April 15 over 1110m defeating Kickup Rocky carrying 56kg at $26. This is an ideal race to kick off. Everything points to an effective return.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, eased back early on 8th of 11 at Gold Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 20 over 1000m, slow going 4.5 len behind My Utopia with 58kg at $71. Last start 4th of 8 at Beaudesert 2yo Mdn on July 7 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Panemorfos with 58kg at $5.50. Taking on a better field and will probably struggle.

Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 3 over 1100m, nose behind Syrian Diamond with 56kg at $2.10. Promising filly who poses the obvious threat.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 11 at Gold Coast Mm Debut 2yo SW on January 17 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Toorak Jewel with 55kg at $26. Went for a break before returning 4th of 13 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Hcp on July 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Tengun Tommy with 54kg at $11. Has plenty of upside and should be highly competitive.
