Doomben Race 1 - Become A Brc Member Mdn Plate
Tricky race to kick off the card with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade, MISHANI TANGO (9) was big odds at Ipswich on debut but ran above expectations with a solid third on that occasion. Will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience and looks the one they all have to run down. YOTEI (6) is on debut but looked handy winning a recent trial and is sure to be well-educated out of the Heathcote barn. Keep very safe. HARD TO EXCEED (2) gets 2kg off with the claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three candidate. NAUGHTY NEIL (4) gets the services of Maloney in the irons and can run a big race first-up. METRIC (8) best of the rest despite the wide draw.

Peter Robl trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Dam was a winner of five races. Comfortable trial winner. Looks a big chance on debut.

Gelding by Worthy Cause making his first appearance. Half-brother to two-start maiden Blossomy. Dam was a winner of five races. Runner-up in a Doomben trial over 1000m on February 24. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.

Was at long odds at debut, 3rd in a small field at Ipswich 2yo Hcp on February 20 over 800m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Sun Sister carrying 59kg at $41. Better for that outing and looks set to break the maiden status.
