Doomben Race 1 - Become A Brc Member Hcp
MISS VERSTAK (10) looks a handy one on debut for the Waller camp. A Bivouac filly out of Catchulata, she's a half to the G1 & 2 placed Tupakara. Fitted fit a stylish Gold Coast trial win, the filly draws the A1 and can make an immediate impact. Which is exactly what LA BELLA QUEEN (2) did here two weeks ago when leading pillar-to-post. Will look to lead again from the low draw and deserves strong consideration again with race experience under her belt. BETTER THE DEVIL (7) debuts and benefits from the Gollan and Thompson combination. Draws well in barrier four and has enough stable and pedigree support to be respected as a genuine threat. VELVET HUSTLE (11) is another debutante that looks capable enough.

Comes through the right form line after winning on debut at this track, scoring by just under two lengths on soft ground when near the top of an open market. She beat Katsuko in comfortable style and keeps Tiffani Brooker, while barrier two gives her the chance to repeat that professional performance. Top weight is the query, but she is a key chance.

Makes her debut for the Tony Gollan and Ben Thompson combination, both top-ranked at this track for wins in the supplied data. She is an $85,000 Better Than Ready filly from Wilcannia and draws kindly in barrier four, which helps the first-day task. Raced form sets the mark, but she has a sound place profile.

Faces her first race start as a Dracarys filly from Clairvue Ruby, with Michael Rodd booked and barrier eight to work from. The trainer profile shows two debut wins from 17 starters, while the trainer-sire combination has returned four wins from 18 in the supplied data. This still looks a stern first outing against several stronger profiles. Can't recommend at this stage.

Ran third on debut at this track behind La Bella Queen, beaten just under three lengths after being an outside chance in betting. She was close enough at the turn and only battled on, so the margin to the winner is a genuine reference point. Minor-money claims look the right level.

Debuts for Chris Waller as a $300,000 yearling and draws the inside barrier, giving her a strong platform for a first start. The family adds depth, with Tupakara placed in the G1 MOET & CHANDON CHAMPAGNE STAKES and several other Group performances listed in the pedigree. The debut profile is strong enough to win.

Starts her career as a $220,000 Capitalist filly from Red Velvet Swing and draws neatly in barrier three. The family has strong depth, with Declichy Boulevard placed at G1, G2 and Listed level, and Redzoust among the city-winning siblings. A genuine place hope if she brings that to race day.
