RACE 4Tab Handicap, 1200m

6. Devil's Throat | J: Reece Jones

Devil’s Throat is a horse that comes to hand quickly, so as with his previous preparations he heads to the races Saturday off the back of a single trial. From the soft draw, I expect to see him put himself just behind the speed, and he should be giving himself every chance.

DANGERS: 3. SHALAILED, 4. CONRAD

RACE 8Precise Air Handicap, 1500m

12. Substantial | J: Chad Schofield

Substantial travelled back from Brisbane in good order after his second at Eagle Farm last start, and the 1500m here should suit him nicely. He is an on-speed runner that will make his own luck. I expect to see him in the first three, depending on the tempo.

DANGERS: 2. DEMOCRACY MANIFEST, 6. COTEHELE

RACE 10Furphy Handicap, 1200m

6. California Surreal | J: Regan Bayliss

I thought California Surreal’s first-up run was far better than it looked at first glance. She had a terrible gate, and just got too far back where it was difficult to make up any ground. She was very strong through the line, and I think we will see sharp improvement on Saturday.

DANGERS: 16. ANAGAIN, 7. DARALINA BELLE

12. Mirra View | J: Robbie Dolan

Mirra View was terrific first-up on a very wet track. We will leave our final decision on whether we run her or not until Saturday morning, given the wide draw. She ran so well first up and has improved fitness wise thanks to that run. She should be competitive in a race like this, but we would like a couple of scratchings just to soften her draw.

DANGERS: 16. ANAGAIN, 7. DARALINA BELLE, 6. CALIFORNIA SURREAL

15. Miss Hellfire | J: Reece Jones

Miss Hellfire has been going well at mid-week level this preparation, but has just been utterly luckless. Hopefully her luck may be chanGing after drawing barrier 1. From the gate, I would like to see her settle a little closer than she has been in her recent outings, and hopefully we see some sharp improvement from her on Saturday.

RACE 3City Property Services Bill Carter Stakes, 1200m

12. Queen Of Dragons | J: Ryan Maloney

Queen of Dragons heads to Queensland first-up off two very nice trials. She has drawn a lovely gate, which should allow Ryan to find a nice spot. She is a quality filly, and I think she will give herself every opportunity to be a winning chance on the day.

DANGERS: 1. RUSSIAN ALLIANCE, 4. ABOUNDING

RACE 7XXXX Doomben Cup, 2000m

3. Huetor | J: Ryan Maloney

I couldn’t be happier with the way Huetor has trained on since the Hollindale. It was an enormous run last start, and it’s great to have Ryan stick with him. Huetor was very strong through the line in the Hollindale, and the extra distance on Saturday looks ideal. Luck in running will play major role in whether he can turn the tables on Zaaki again this year.

DANGERS: 1. ZAAKI
