AU - Doomben - Race 3

A 3YO Plate with a QTIS bonus attached is to run over 6 ¾f for 125K. FABULANTES (3) caught the eye last time out at Eagle Farm with a fast-finishing fifth in stakes company there 4 weeks ago. He had won 3 on the bounce before that, and from a superior gate, with Zac Purton on the saddle, he can return to his winning ways immediately. BURMA STAR (1) tried hard when second in the Hawkesbury Guineas a fortnight ago, and he is nearing the sort of good form that he showed in the spring when racing in Melbourne. Hard to beat in this. ESTREMO (4) was doing his best work late when finishing fifth as the favourite at Hawkesbury 2 weeks ago. He only needs the gaps to appear at the right time to be a big each-way threat in this. SMEXY (13) failed to run on as expected as the favourite at Eagle Farm 3 weeks ago when finding 1m a touch too far on a testing heavy track. She is better placed in this, and she can make amends. HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT (2) strips fitter second up, and he has JMac riding.
