Doomben Race 9 - Higgins Coatings Plate (C6)
Cracking contest. KOHLER KID (11) stretched out nicely late when resuming and will take plenty of holding out late under the light weight if the pace is strong. BALANCE THE BOOKS (8) is another handy one ready to return after enjoying her most successful campaign to date. Profiles very similar to DAGGERS, and perhaps has the upside-edge. Have to take seriously. STREET CHASE (12) is fitter third-up after a close Eagle Farm fourth and a narrow placing behind SPIETHTACULAR at this venue. Definitely worth including. SPIETHTACULAR (9) has returned in great order this campaign and gets a good chance to test herself. Expect Jones to burn across from out there and give another bold sight. CHO OYU (2) made quite the return last month and is another that's in the mix.

Returns from a one-month let-up after producing a sharp first-up win in a Class 5 over 1000m at Eagle Farm, coming from well back despite early interference to beat Gambler by three lengths. The 3kg claim helps and his career record is very strong, while one win and one placing from three starts at this track adds support. Strong record and 3kg claim point to a genuine place chance.

Was eighth in an Open race at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Now Is The Hour after settling back and making only steady ground. The previous run was better, beaten a nose by Thelwell at Eagle Farm on heavy ground as favourite. Barrier one helps, but he has to find a stronger winning edge.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a seventh in a Class 4 at Ipswich, beaten two and a half lengths after beginning slowly and settling rearward. The start prior he led in a Class 5 and was run down late, again finishing seventh. Weight relief is a small help and he has placed twice from six at this track and distance, but his recent winless profile keeps him down the order. Can't recommend on current form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last campaign with two wins at this track, the latest an Open success over Irama after charging from well back. He has had two trials since last racing and the 3kg claim is useful, but his record around 1200m shows one placing from two starts and he resumes after eight months. Two wins from two at this track, but the 1200m test keeps him a risk.

Returns from a five-month break with a close second in her latest trial at Doomben, and her race record gives her a strong case. She signed off with a dominant BM80 win at Sunshine Coast, beating Electric Arrow by four and a half lengths after covering ground, and had won a BM78 at Ipswich the start prior. Clear winning claims.

Has won her past two at this track, most recently leading and holding Amuseantes by a head in an FM BM78 after being near the top of betting. The previous Class 3 win here was also controlled from the front, and she now gets weight relief from that last-start 59kg. Wide draw asks a question, but the form is reliable.

Resumed with a strong second in a Class 3 at Eagle Farm on heavy ground, beaten just under two lengths by Strada Varenna after travelling well from the back. The run before the break came in the G3 Winx Guineas, so there is genuine quality in his form, and the weight relief from 60kg to 55.5kg is important. G3 background adds depth and he looks the one to beat.

Kept on well for fourth in a BM85 at Eagle Farm last week, beaten a length and a half by Noble Decree at double-figure odds. Before that he was third at this track behind Spiethtacular, beaten just under a length after racing prominently and being pipped late. Quick back-up is the query.

Returns from a four-month break after a seventh at Ballarat Synthetic in BM56 grade, beaten just under four lengths as an outside chance in the betting. Her previous run was a better fifth there when wide throughout and only a length and a half away, and she has trialled at Doomben since. Even with weight relief and barrier two, her unplaced past year makes this a difficult resumption. Can't entertain.
