Doomben Race 2 - The Gibson Hcp
THE GREY ONE (1) has made a bright start to his career, charging home for second on debut before winning with a fair bit up his sleeve at the Gold Coast last time. Looks better the further he stretches, so expecting him to relish the mile. SPIRIT OF TORQUE (4) looks the main danger after thrashing his rivals over a similar trip here last time to shed the maiden tag. Have to consider. VIENI QUA (6) is another who got off the mark in dominant fashion last time, though will need to convert that form to the turf. WORTHTHEADMISSION (8) is another last start winner, leading all of the way at Casino. This is tougher but expecting her to give backers another sight, and could hold on for a minor spot at big odds. FEARLESS WIN (3) has been below her best since resuming but strips fitter third-up and gets a key booking in Maloney. Could sneak a minor slot.

Won a 1400m Mdn at Gold Coast last start, picking up impressively on soft ground to score by a length and a half as a dominant favourite. His debut second behind Wainai also had merit after he raced wide throughout and still charged home. Untried at 1600m, but third-up with clear upside and rates on top.

Failed to finish off when seventh at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths behind Kickup Rocky after being unwanted in the market. Her start prior was better, closing hard for fifth in a Class 1 at Eagle Farm after being held up near the 200m. Untested at 1600m, so place claims look fairest.

Improved when fourth in a FM Class 1 at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths behind Olivoni after holding her ground fairly at generous odds. The run prior was a plain eighth in Class 1 company, but she has won at this venue and Ryan Maloney goes on. First try at 1600m is the question, but she can fill a placing.

Put them away by four lengths in a Mdn at this track last start, beating Just Say Vale on good ground after travelling well into the race. She had already been solid when third here on soft ground after beginning slowly, and her 1600m record is a strong asset. Hard to knock her profile despite the rise from Mdn grade.

Placed as a well-supported favourite in a 1400m Mdn at Gold Coast last week, beaten just under two lengths after being bumped and then held up passing the 300m. The weight relief helps, but he is still a maiden coming to a harder meeting and has not raced around 1600m. Improvement is possible, though others bring stronger winning form. Happy to miss this time.

Swept home from well back to win a Gold Coast Poly Mdn by three and a half lengths last start, beating Goulburn after being near the top of betting. Her previous third at Gold Coast had some merit too, as she was held up approaching the 200m before working into the money. Harder now, but her upside keeps her in the place discussion.

Has been safely held in two Mdn runs, most recently eighth at Gold Coast when beaten five and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. His debut at Tamworth was even weaker, beaten over 11 lengths after beginning slowly. First-time blinkers and weight relief offer some help, but he has to find a much sharper level to trouble this field. Can't have.

Led and kept finding to win a small-field Mdn at Casino by two and a half lengths last start, starting odds-on and beating Anderlyn on soft ground. That was a country race, so this is a stronger assignment, and she has not raced around 1600m. Minor claims if she lifts again.
