★ Top pick6th
3Hells Rein
Has raced consistently without winning and his closing efforts at his last two starts were among the strongest in this line-up. He maps to settle handy in what shapes as a slowly-run race, which suits at Doomben's mile, and the Vandyke/Rodd partnership is a strong pointer.
2nd pickWon
2Great Times Ahead
The Chris Waller colt was beaten a nose over 1500m last start and closed like a horse wanting the mile. He draws the inside gate for Ben Thompson and should be peaking at this trip.
3rd pick2nd
4Wulfhere
A second-up colt whose two placings came on soft ground and who maps to be in the firing line in a race with no obvious leader. He worked home well for third at Eagle Farm last start despite an interrupted run. Barrier 8 is tricky and he has not yet raced on a Good surface, but his on-pace profile fits the way the Doomben mile plays.
Value pick3rd
1Enuff Torque
This gelding's last run was much better than the bare fourth suggests, charging home after being held up and racing greenly, and the winkers should help him concentrate. He draws nicely in barrier 3 and the rise to the mile looks ideal given how he finished off.

Winner1. Astern EffortSP $4.00
★ Top pick4th
8Budda Bar
Budda Bar's debut run was visually and numerically superior to anything else in this maiden field, finishing powerfully from off the pace to be beaten only narrowly. While lightly raced, the quality of that first run, suitable gate and tempo make it the most likely winner on what we know.
2nd pickWon
1Astern Effort
Astern Effort has been one of the most consistent types in this grade, racking up minor placings including a near-miss at this track last campaign. He draws well and settles close to the speed, which should suit.
3rd pick7th
10Esnaad
Esnaad has never missed a place and has done so against better fields than she faces today, showing a tidy turn of foot in the closing stages each time. Dropping in grade and with a strong stable/jockey combination behind her, she rates highly, though settling back in a one-leader moderate-tempo race is the main risk to manage.
Value pick2nd
6Stellagracia
Stellagracia is unraced but carries strong proxy signals - a dominant Doomben trainer, a rider combination that wins at a very high rate together, and tidy trial form over course and distance. The inside barrier suits the track bias.

15:06 local1350mBench. 68$38,000
Winner2. Smoke On The WaterSP $3.30
★ Top pickWon
2Smoke On The Water
Smoke On The Water presents the strongest recent form in the race, winning two of her last three with a dominant last-start victory and dropping in grade today. Her good-track form is outstanding and the stable/jockey combination is in excellent touch at Doomben.
2nd pick3rd
8Gaultier
The inside barrier suits the track's bias and he looks to be improving with racing. The main query is whether he can carry that form into tougher open company for the first time, but he rates as a genuine threat to the top selection.
3rd pick2nd
5Kokatahi
Kokatahi's last-start effort against better opposition was genuinely promising, finishing just under a length from the winner, and he drops into easier company today. The Waller stable is powerful at this track and the barrier draw is workable.
Value pick5th
3He'sgotthesay
He drops slightly in grade today, the stable/jockey combination is strong together, and the gear change may sharpen him.

★ Top pickWon
5Ready For Aimee
The one leader in the race who has shown she can genuinely control a race, Ready For Aimee ran to a winning standard two runs back over this trip on a good track and was narrowly beaten before a plain run last start. Drawn to cross from barrier three with the top combination at this track riding her, she is the most complete package on form and map and fully deserves favouritism.
2nd pick5th
4Lebanese
She is clearly on the improve and has already beaten similar class. The wide gate is the only query, but her settling pattern means it should cost little.

Winner4. Toro StrikeSP $1.90
★ Top pickWon
4Toro Strike
Toro Strike produced the standout effort of this field last start, chasing home the winner at this same track over near enough to todays distance while clocking a performance well clear of what's usually needed to win a race of this level.
2nd pick3rd
8Wounder
Wounder has trended upward sharply, topping it off with her best performance yet last start against stronger rivals over a longer trip. She already has a winning track-and-distance record and now gets the right grade and distance relief.
3rd pick2nd
3Cantarito
Cantarito has quietly been racing well above her placings recently, including a near-winning-standard effort in defeat last start. The Waller stable's strength at Doomben is a plus, but her back-of-the-field tactics carry some risk if the speed is as moderate as expected, leaving her as a place rather than banker proposition.
Value pick7th
9Madame Cody
Madame Cody's first-up run was forgettable, but she has a strong record when building into a preparation and has previously led and placed over this trip in similar grade.

2nd pick5th
9Sort Cha Mess
Sort Cha Mess has rattled off a terrific sequence of placings and a sharp last-start win, and the way the map sets up today - sitting forward behind a single genuine leader - should suit him well. Still rates as a major player and the obvious each-way the race.
3rd pickWon
11Divine Source
Divine Source looks set to get the run of the race as the only genuine leader, a significant edge at a track where on-pace runners dominate short sprints. She has won from the front at Doomben before and holds solid course form, though her finishing efforts have at times faded when uncontested in front. A wide gate is a slight query, but the uncontested lead is hard to ignore.
