SPEED MAP<\/h2>\n
\n

There looks to be good speed engaged with Serpentine<\/strong> entered to race. Numerian, Bois D\u2019argent, Naval College and New Endeavour<\/strong> like to roll along and expect them to make the pace. Vow and Declare and Young Werther<\/strong> look the map horses settling just behind the pace with the rest of the field further back.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

SUMMARY<\/h2>\n
\n

In an open Doomben Cup, the early odds suggest there are some potential bets to be made.<\/p>\n

Kovalica returned to some form last start, but he is still yet to win for some time and although drawn better then last start he is easy to risk if jumping fave in this. Numerian was solid first up in the Hollindale and looked as though he had more to give as he crossed the line, if he holds that level it will be difficult for anything that finished behind him to turn the tables.
\nVow And Declare is another who has not won for some time but his last start performance produced a big overall figure over this distance and if any of the three horses that finished in front of him were in this race I would expect they would be the first, second and third favourites.<\/p>\n

Serpentine needs to produce a win at the top level but he is one that is tough when racing at this distance and if he is left alone in front around Doomben he could surprise at a price.<\/p>\n

Based on the early market, I feel there is an opportunity to play small around the fave.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
