Doomben Race 5 - XXXX Gold (Bm68)
SMOKE ON THE WATER (2) confirmed the market support that made him favourite fresh up at the Sunshine Coast by bolting in by well over 2 lengths, with plenty left in the tank at the line. This is no harder, and even with an extra 3kg to shoulder, he can repeat the dose. KOKATAHI (5) hit the line hard once in the clear fresh up at Eagle Farm, and he has gone the right way since. The extra 150m is the key, and he can go one better in this. BARRELLING (6) set the pace at Ipswich last start, but raced too keenly before folding up in the run home. He gets a couple of subtle gear changes, and if he can settle better in the running, then he is an each-way threat in this field. GAULTIER (8) just missed by a short-head in his first start from the Queensland stable of Chris Waller, and he gets a big swing in his draw this time. Stick with him. EARTHING (10) needed his first Queensland start after being bought out of Victoria, and he will be a quick improver here, with the blinkers on.

At the latest run ran second last of 11 in a Bm70 at Gold Coast on September 19 over 1200m, 4 len behind Berezka with 60kg at $81. Before that got back early 8th of 11 in a Bm70 at Eagle Farm on August 29 over 1200m, 4 len behind Strada Varenna with 60.5kg at $31. Not going well enough. Unlikely to threaten.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len in a Bm70 at Sunshine Coast on September 20 over 1400m defeating Italian Dancer carrying 57kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 13th of 16 in a Highway-C3 at Randwick on February 7 over 1200m, 5 len behind Fingers Hunter carrying 56kg at $71. Great chance to make it two in a row. Can continue the strong form.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 3rd of 9 in a Cl2 at Beaudesert on August 21 over 1200m, 7 len behind Sequel with 56kg at $4.60. Second run from a spell led to the turn then faded 6th of 10 in a 0 - 65 at Ipswich on September 9 over 1350m, 3 len behind Baccarat Rouge with 59.5kg at $1.60. Going well. Worth following up.
