Doomben hosts a nine-race program this Saturday under ideal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fine weather leading in should present a Good track, with the rail positioned 0.5m out \u2014 a setup that typically ensures fairness across the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This looks a day where race shape and rider execution will be key factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 1 – RACECOURSE VILLAGE BENCHMARK 78 Handicap (1600 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 7 Sarrismo <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SARRISMO (7)<\/strong>\u00a0heads north from Sydney following an impressive first-up performance.<\/p>\n

Prepared by O\u2019Shea & Charlton, the gelding maintained his unbeaten fresh record when leading throughout over 1400m at Warwick Farm and proving too strong late, scoring by 1.67 lengths.<\/p>\n

A strong trial between runs suggests he has improved further second-up.<\/p>\n

Despite drawing wide, he has the early speed to offset the barrier, with Ben Thompson expected to press forward and find a prominent position.<\/p>\n

Race 2 – THE GIBSON OPEN Handicap (1600 METRES) <\/div>\n

\n

ANEMACORE (3)<\/strong>\u00a0returns to more suitable conditions after finishing seventh in the Gold Jewel on a wet track.<\/p>\n

The Shaun Dwyer-trained gelding has been in excellent form on dry ground, winning his previous three starts on good surfaces.<\/p>\n

Two runs back, he charged home to win the Sunshine Coast Cup.<\/p>\n

He was seven weeks between runs last start, so improvement is expected, and the step to a mile looks ideal.<\/p>\n

With limited speed in the race, Michael Rodd should secure a comfortable position in running.<\/p>\n

\n

DANXIA (2)<\/strong>\u00a0has continued to progress since joining the Colt Prosser stable from Ciaron Maher.<\/p>\n

The son of El Roca showed determination to win in heavy conditions at Coffs Harbour last start.<\/p>\n

His first-up win on a dry surface at Beaumont was particularly strong, finishing powerfully under a big weight.<\/p>\n

Third-up here, he should be nearing peak fitness.<\/p>\n

A favourable draw and a 3kg claim for Corey Sutherland further enhance his chances.<\/p>\n

\n

FIRST MISSION (6)<\/strong>\u00a0worked early when resuming at the Gold Coast but stuck on well to finish second, beaten just a length.<\/p>\n

Since joining Kelly Schweida\u2019s stable, he has been highly consistent, placing in all four runs last preparation.<\/p>\n

He was unlucky not to win second-up last campaign over this trip at Eagle Farm when narrowly beaten after struggling for clear running.<\/p>\n

Blinkers are applied for the first time after the jockey noted he lost focus in the straight last start.<\/p>\n

\n

PRINCE LEVI (3)<\/strong>\u00a0is racing in outstanding form and looks well placed again.<\/p>\n

The William Kropp-trained gelding showed great determination last start at the Gold Coast, winning narrowly over 2050m carrying 60kg.<\/p>\n

Three starts back, he produced a dominant performance over this course and distance, winning by 1.82 lengths with a perfectly timed ride.<\/p>\n

The drop to 54kg is significant given his smaller stature, and an inside draw should allow for an economical run.<\/p>\n

\n

LOVEY DOVEY (9)<\/strong>\u00a0has been in excellent form this preparation.<\/p>\n

The Chris Waller-trained mare was unlucky not to win last start, charging home to miss by a nose behind Prince Levi.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, she recorded back-to-back wins at Ipswich over staying trips.<\/p>\n

She has consistently produced strong closing sectionals, including the fastest final 600m and 200m splits in a recent Eagle Farm run.<\/p>\n

She is race-fit and drops in class, which makes her highly competitive.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

TRUE AMOR (1)<\/strong>\u00a0had excuses two starts ago when slow to recover after his stable debut for Munce.<\/p>\n

He bounced back last start with a tough win over 1200m at this track, sitting handy and holding on narrowly.<\/p>\n

The son of I Am Invincible has since trialled well.<\/p>\n

He looks suited stepping up to 1350m, a distance he has previously gone close over.<\/p>\n

With a 3kg claim for Courtney Bellamy, he should roll forward and settle prominently.<\/p>\n

\n

CASTILLIAN (1)<\/strong>\u00a0showed significant improvement last start at the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

He produced a dominant 2.26-length win over 1400m after being ridden positively.<\/p>\n

Trained by Tony Gollan, he has an excellent record at this course and distance, missing the quinella just once in five attempts.<\/p>\n

Expect similar tactics here.<\/p>\n

If he controls the race up front, he will be hard to run down.<\/p>\n

\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

DOMINANT DARCY (3)<\/strong> has been in outstanding form this preparation, winning four of her five starts and improving each time she steps out.<\/p>\n

That was evident again last start at the Gold Coast where she proved too strong, scoring by 1.69 lengths, and she now returns to a track she clearly thrives at having won all three starts over this course and distance.<\/p>\n

Emily Lang reunites with her and should secure the run of the race from the inside draw.<\/p>\n
