Doomben Race 1 - Ezy Projects Mdn Hcp
ZEPHYR SONG (11) should be hitting his straps fourth-up after narrowly missing here last time. Gets in well with the in-form claimer taking over with 3kgs coming off. Will land handy from the low draw and be in this for a long way. IMMINENT APPEAL (1) drops back from Saturday company after a solid Eagle Farm second. Gets in light with Pozman's 3kg claim and should appreciate stretching out the extra 150m. CRAZY EIGHTS (5) was held up at the top of the straight last start at Ipswich but chased gamely into fourth once getting through. The form around him is sticking up and he gets a key switch in Thompson, who will need to be on top of his game from out there. DUN DARTE CHEAP (7) has mixed his form since resuming but was better last time at the Sunny Coast when ridden positively. Houston goes on and claims 2kg, suspect they will push forward again under the light weight.

Placed at both starts and now comes back from Saturday company after finishing second to Metric over 1200m at Eagle Farm, beaten just over two lengths on soft ground. His debut third at Sunshine Coast had merit after covering ground, and the 3kg claim helps offset the 60kg. The 1350m is new ground, but the 3kg claim helps and he has strong claims.

Returns off a five-week freshening after a fair fourth at Murwillumbah, beaten a length and a half over 1200m but not quite finishing the race off. Can feature.

Had some excuse first-up at Eagle Farm when held up on the home turn, but he was still eighth behind Metric and beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. His only prior run was a well-beaten Gold Coast debut, so the overall form base remains thin. Improvement required despite the easier setup.

Forgive the Ipswich fourth to some extent, as he was held up in the straight before finishing just under five lengths from Weownachevy. His debut second at Doomben was stronger, charging home from well back to be beaten just under two lengths by Red Point. Third-up with upside, he is a major danger.

Finished last at Sunshine Coast, beaten over 10 lengths, but he raced keenly and was wide near the 800m, so the run can be treated a little more kindly. The start prior at Ipswich was also plain, with no late impact over 1710m. Stable and rider give him some place appeal.

Lifted last start at Sunshine Coast when fourth to Silent Answer, beaten two lengths after leading to the turn and holding on evenly. Two back at Gold Coast Poly he had excuses after being bumped at the start and racing wide throughout. Set to run well again.

Made only a modest debut at Doomben over 1110m, finishing second last and beaten just over five lengths after settling back and covering ground. He had trialled second at Deagon in August, so there was some groundwork, but the race performance still lacked the finish required. Can improve second-up, but others have better race form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being well beaten at Eagle Farm over 1000m, where she raced wide and was steadied but still weakened right out at long odds. Her Gold Coast debut was also well below the required level, beaten over 12 lengths after leading early. The spell and gear change may help, but she has a sizeable form gap to bridge.

Went within half a length of winning here last start, being pipped late by Kobability after beginning well and travelling into the race cleanly. She had also placed at Doomben the run prior when just run down late, giving her two strong local efforts this campaign. Claim and fourth-up fitness make her the one to beat.
