Doomben hosts eight races this Wednesday, August 6th, with the track currently rated in the Soft range and the rail positioned 5.5m out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our best bet lands in the final race, featuring a progressive David Vandyke-trained gelding chasing a hat-trick of wins. Earlier in the card, we\u2019ve also identified a couple of each-way plays worth backing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

The day kicks off with an open maiden, featuring several runners long overdue for a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

BEFORE THE THUNDER (1) shapes as an interesting each-way prospect after a solid second-up effort at the Sunshine Coast two weeks back. He led for much of the race before fading late, ultimately finishing around four lengths off the winner.<\/p>\n

That was his first run back over 1200m, so he\u2019s likely to strip fitter this time out, and another rain-affected track should play to his strengths.<\/p>\n

Race 2 – MEKKA RACEDAY 16 AUGUST Maiden Plate (1640 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 5 Use Your Illusion<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

USE YOUR ILLUSION (5) looks appealing following a gritty third-up effort at the Sunshine Coast three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Tony Gollan\u2019s gelding was well back turning for home, found a run down the centre, and was then heavily bumped by a rival around the 250m mark. Despite the interference, he rallied to finish third, though still beaten by nearly six lengths.<\/p>\n

Now third-up and with two solid performances over shorter trips under his belt, he appears primed for the step up to the mile.<\/p>\n

No. 2 Akkadian Emperor<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

The Irish import AKKADIAN EMPEROR (2) looks primed to strike for connections.<\/p>\n

This lightly-raced four-year-old son of Churchill has already made his mark in Australia, notching wins at Hawkesbury and Newcastle last year over shorter trips.<\/p>\n

His two runs this prep have been encouraging as he builds toward the 2000m journey. Having saluted third-up previously and with wet ground to his liking, he shapes as one of the key contenders.<\/p>\n

No. 4 Blazen Boots<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

BLAZEN BOOTS (4) steps out first-up in a race that looks well within reach against Class 5 opposition.<\/p>\n

While his fresh form has been mixed, he\u2019s generally performed well at this grade, including a runner-up finish to Beautantes at Eagle Farm during the spring.<\/p>\n

He may need the run after a lengthy spell, but with Ben Thompson in strong form and a wide draw that could allow him to roll forward cleanly, he\u2019s capable of giving this a shake.<\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

All eyes will be on the well-supported WHISPERING ROGUE (6) in this one.<\/p>\n

A half-brother to dual Group 2 winner Whispering Brook, this promising three-year-old has shown plenty in just two starts, including a strong return at Ipswich last week where he was narrowly beaten after tiring late.<\/p>\n

Backing up quickly suggests he\u2019s pulled up well, and with a more economical run off the speed, he looks poised to go one better.<\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

LADY LUCIFER (11) shapes as a genuine knockout hope at a tempting price.<\/p>\n

Fresh off a break, the key query is how she\u2019ll cope with the 1100m trip first-up\u2014but her February return at the Sunshine Coast, where she blitzed them by two lengths, speaks volumes.<\/p>\n

By Hellbent and boasting a lethal turn of foot, she\u2019ll be dangerous late if Ryan Maloney can navigate a clean run from the inside draw. If she gets the splits, expect fireworks.<\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

RED HOT LIZZIE (8) is bubbling under and looks ready to strike third-up.<\/p>\n

While wins have been elusive, her last run at Eagle Farm was full of merit\u2014she might\u2019ve gone even closer if not for shifting off the rail and brushing a rival late. Still, she showed genuine fight, finishing just two lengths off Acapulco Girl with a strong surge through the line.<\/p>\n

With another low draw and a bit of give in the ground to suit, she\u2019s well placed to be in the finish again. A win wouldn\u2019t shock.<\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/span>\n Race time: <\/span>\n <\/span> \n <\/div>\n

PHAROAH\u2019S PROPHECY (4) looks every bit the banker to close out the card.<\/p>\n

David Vandyke has this gelding flying, with back-to-back wins at Doomben that suggest he\u2019s taken a big step forward this prep. His latest victory\u2014by more than three lengths over the mile\u2014was dominant, and the rise from 1300m to 1600m clearly suited.<\/p>\n

He faces a stronger field here, but with fitness on his side and a proven turn of foot, he\u2019s got the class and momentum to make it three straight. Hard to tip against.<\/p>\n
