Doomben Race 8 - Bundaberg Rum (Bm78)
FORGOTTEN SPIRIT (8) looked the winner when resuming last start over 1000m at Eagle Farm but was nutted right on the line. Running a strong 1200m is the query but she has the quality to test this field. GRINZINGER CHAMP (6) took a long while to stoke up under the big weight but got the job done again as favourite last time out over this course and distance. Takes on the boys today but she keeps improving and will be tough to hold out. GOSPEL GIRL (3) is back after a 20-week break. Beaten a lip in a similar race to this at the Farm when fresh from a spell last prep. Going great guns at the trials so she looks fully wound up. ACAPPELLA SUN (2) has placed once in nine first-up runs so her fifth when resuming last start was par for the course. Has a far better second-up record and she likes Doomben so this is a nice assignment. The consistent TORNADO EXPRESS (7) has won four from six at this distance so he is difficult to rule out.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation eighth of 10 at this track F&M Bm78 March 28 over 1200m, 4 len behind Cindersea with 57.5kg at $14. When resuming last campaign second of 9 at Eagle Farm Bm78 January 31 over 1200m, a nose behind Press Link with 58.5kg at $9.50. Goes well at the start of her campaigns and this looks a nice platform.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.7 len at this track on August 1 over 1200m defeating Spirit Of Barty with 60kg at $1.90. Before that favourite; won by 1.2 len at this track on July 18 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Spirit Of Barty with 54.5kg at $4.20. Laboured a bit under the big weight last time but showed fight - sure to be in the finish again.

Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 8 at this track on July 22 over 1110m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Facundo with 56kg at $11. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 8 at Sunshine Coast on June 14 over 1000m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Click Click Boom with 52.5kg at $7.50. Comes into this in ordinary form. Will need further improvement to trouble these.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Sunshine Coast on July 26 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Hopper with 57.5kg at $4. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 11 at Eagle Farm on July 15 over 1200m, 8 len behind Fragile Love with 58kg at $14. Down in the weights but will be tested in this company.
