ROSEHILL

NIC ASHMAN (Daily Telegraph). Tipster’s recent form: 04732

LUNAR RISE

Race 7, No. 3

Improved second-up in a race that returned strong times.

TAB Fixed Odds: $15

STEPHEN ZAMMIT (Daily Telegraph). Form: x6058

HOLLYWOOD BOUND

Race 7, No. 6

Hailing from the Chris Waller yard he was always handy and let down well for 1-1/4 len win over the mile at Randwick on May 20. This is a bit harder but is fit, in form and can run a big race at the good price.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

JOHN DAVIS (Daily Telegraph). Form: 95x05

OFF THE RAILS

Race 8, No. 5

Is back for this assignment after two soft trials but is adept in wet conditions and favourably drawn to show up for a long way.

TAB Fixed Odds: $11

DARREN PRENDERGAST (Super Racing). Form: 01700

TURBULENT JET

Race 8, No. 11

Showed he has come back in great order after rattling home from rear of the field for second behind the flying Alberto Magic last start. Has a good record second-up and sure to be storming home again.

TAB Fixed Odds: $9.50

Turbulent Jet will be out to enhance his good record at Rosehill.

MOONEE VALLEY

MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Tipster’s recent form: 63734

SHE CAN SHAZAM

Race 2, No. 4

Didn’t have to go around another runner but still strong to line at Caulfield and this trip suits.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

ROD NICHOLSON (Herald Sun). Form: 00113

VOLCANIC CASH

Race 3, No. 7

Won impressively first-up and has been working brilliantly. Good each-way odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 13010

ORION

Race 7, No. 13

Took over a long way from home and held rivals off for comfortable win at Caulfield last start. Improving with racing and carries light weight.

TAB Fixed Odds: $9.50

DOOMBEN

NATHAN EXELBY (The Courier-Mail). Tipster’s recent form: 68501

SHE’S MISS DEVINE

Race 8, No. 12

Good win first-up when she clocked almost identical time to the older Listed horses on the day. Got a little tired late that day and sure to be further improved. Gets the softest of runs off the inside gate here and should have plenty to offer in the straight.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

BRAD DAVIDSON (Gold Coast Bulletin). Form: 07071

MISCHIEVOUS DEVIL

Race 8, No. 9

Had to go back to last from the wide gate last start and his run was as good as anything in the race. Tougher here but he has drawn ideally and he should settle midfield and run a cheeky race. He is not well off at the weights but looks over the odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $21

NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 7x108

SEBRINA

Race 7, No. 11

One of the greatest ‘certainties beat’ I’ve seen at Randwick last Saturday and as a result hall of fame jockey Glen Boss replaces Brodie Loy as rider. Drawn nicely and looks an each-way special.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

SIMON MOY (Super Racing). Form: 06463

BLACK JET

Race 4, No. 4

Never gave a yelp last start on the Sunshine Coast in race dominated by on-pacers. Overlook that. Has tremendous record here and can turn these over with his best.

TAB Fixed Odds: $11

Black Jet will appreciate returning to Doomben on Saturday. Picture: Annette Dew

MORPHETTVILLE

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser). Tipster’s recent form: 21242

DOWN THE HATCH

Race 5, No. 2

Smart horse on his day and has won three of six starts. Carries 55kg with the claim for Caitlin Jones and sure to take some beating here.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser). Form: 0381

HEART OF A LION

Race 8, No. 2

Hard to knock his form with three straight wins — and he has drawn to get another gun trip in this. Only has a short sprint but will be rocketing home if he gets a split at the right time.

TAB Fixed Odds: $4.80
