Races BR Doomben

Burned candle both ends, kept fighting nabbed post 0.1L T J Smith Group 1 over 1200m. Set sail for home in front but was overhauled for fifth 1.6L at Ascot Quokka 1200m. Hot tempo in Quokka and set it up for back markers. Can bounce back.

Keen in lead, didn't see trip out 8L C F Orr Group 1 over 1400m. Led, burned candle both ends, fended them off 1L William Reid Group 1 over 1200m Soft 6. Last start Group 1 winner. Looks more pace this race.

Midfield, strong through the line, not far away 1.8L St Kingdom Group 3 over 1200m Soft 7. Box seat, sprinted sharply, too strong late 1.4L Hall Mark Group 3 over 1200m Soft 5. Comes right into play on a heavy deck.

Taken back wide gate, passed some tired ones late 4.4L Silver Eagle Group 3 over 1300m Soft 5. One out one back, under pressure early, weakened 18.1L at Rosehill Gardens Golden Eagle over 1500m. Flies fresh. Returns a gelding. Big watch.

Close to speed, kept grinding just felt pinch late 8.6L Toorak Hcp Group 1 over 1600m. 3wide with cover, held ground to the line, sound 3.7L All Aged Group 1 over 1400m Soft 5. Honest on return but will need to find a few lengths for this.

Led, winner went past 200m, stuck on well 3.9L at Eagle Farm The Buffering 1400m. Led, kicked but run down late to just miss a place 1.8L Victory Stakes Group 2 1200m. Veteran sprinter sure to be giving it his all again. Barrier no help.

Ridden upside down in front, didn't see trip out 3.6L Vic Hcp Group 3 1400m. Fantastic run home in the last part for third after getting too far back 1.7L Victory Stakes Group 2 1200m. Can settle bit closer from inside gate. Looks value.

Led, dictated tempo, ran away from them late 2.3L at Aquis Park Gold Coast Mm Sprint over 1200m. Leader's back, edged out, checked 150m 2.1L Ascot Hcp Listed over 1000m. Excuses on return. Back to best trip.

Back half, didn't let down when asked 4.2L Ascot Hcp Listed 1000m. Came from behind the leaders to win by the barest of margins 0.04L Victory Stakes Group 2 1200m. Won traditional lead-up race at huge odds. Wet track no issue.

Midfield, one paced finish 2.3L T J Smith Group 1 over 1200m. Displayed a brilliant turn-of-foot to finish off hard for second 0.04L Victory Stakes Group 2 over 1200m. Major player again this race.

Led, kept fending them off, brave win 0.5L at Gold Coast Mm Qtis 1300m. Showed pace to sit with the leaders, fought hard but tired quickly 5.5L Victory Stakes Group 2 1200m. Drawn to advantage. Two from two at the track.

Ridden quiet, eye catcher late from too far back 1.9L T J Smith Group 1 over 1200m. One out one back, every chance, strong late, held 3rd 1.3L All Aged Group 1 over 1400m Soft 5. Racing well in strongest form races. Blinkers first time.

Weakened in the straight and always had an uphill battle to challenge 3.3L Nz Tbred Brdrs Group 1 1600m Soft 5. Led, battled on well, tiring last 100m, sound run 3.1L All Aged Group 1 1400m. Super Kiwi mare but best trip is over further.

Ridden for cover, let down strongly, leader kicked 1L William Reid Group 1 over 1200m Soft 6. Midfield, worked home fairly, not far away 2.7L All Aged Group 1 over 1400m Soft 5. Can forgive last start. Blinkers back on.

Box seat, loomed up, peaked late, good 3rd 0.7L Sapphire Group 2 over 1200m. Led, tried hard but was ultimately outclassed into third placing 2L Hawk Crown Group 3 over 1300m Heavy 8. Needs to rediscover best form.

Scratched

Drifted back, given cue, late work sound 2.4L Ascot Hcp Listed 1000m. Fair performance when only warmed up late 3.5L Victory Stakes Group 2 1200m. Racing well but Group1 WFA is a huge ask.
