Chris Nelson’s Doomben Best Bets

RACE 2 No.2 Tsarina Sophia

Sydney visitor from the Ryan/Alexiou camp who lines up for her third run this prep on Saturday. A winner from off the pace first up at Wyong (1000m) she again made good ground second up (1100m) at Canterbury particularly through the line suggesting she’s now chasing further. Saturday she steps to 1200m with Jimmy Orman to do the steering which is a very positive lead.


RACE 3 No.4 Busting

Leading trainer Tony Gollan looks all set for a big day on Saturday with this lightly raced Spirit Of Boom gelding one of his major chances. He won his first couple in good fashion at the Gold Coast before beating all bar the smart Junqueira same track on Wave Day. He beat the remainder by a decent space and with Angela Jones taking 2kg off looks the one to beat.


RACE 7 No.11 Vaccine

Will 1350m be far enough for this very consistent mare? Well, I’d love 1400m however I’m happy to take the punt it will. Very good at the Gold Coast making ground on a day when it was very difficult to do so she was strong late clocking in 3rd behind stable mate Latakia. Hopefully settling no worse than midfield she can run over the top of them late.
