George Moore Stakes Day at Doomben Tips, Best Bets and Race Previews – 2021

Fearless Knight will enjoy improvement into his second campaign start, and I think that he will break his maiden.

The Lonhro colt didn’t show a whole lot at the trials prior to debuting, but he mustered a nice turn of foot to fill the minors on the Sunshine Coast after racing greenly.

He is drawn ideally and can record his first win.

This race is wide open and there is a case to be made for several gallopers, including Doom.

Doom has been a model of consistency in this country throughout his prep, and recorded consecutive wins at Jundah and Blackall before filling the minors at Longreach last time.

He’s rock-hard fit and I’m interested to see what he does getting back to the mile.

This looks the perfect target for Piracy.

He stamped himself as a galloper to follow while sporting the Godolphin silks earlier in his career, and while he did go off the boil somewhat in recent seasons, Tony & Maddysen Sears look to have found the key to him this time.

He has won each of his last two starts with something in hand and is drawn to receive every chance on Saturday under Ryan Maloney.

A quality field of three-year-olds will contest this year’s Winning Rupert Plate, including Wardaddy.

Wardadday has made just three appearances at the races so far, and stamped himself as a galloper to follow with an easy win on debut at Taree in June, before immediately going to the paddock.

So far this time, he has only just missed in races at Port Macquarie and here at Doomben, and he’ll take further improvement into this contest.

He’s drawn to receive every chance and we can have an each-way play at around the $8.50 mark.

This is one of the better races on the card, but I am going to have something on the third-up So You Win getting out to 2000m.

So You Win has returned plenty of good performances throughout his career, but the decision to training him largely in Queensland has certainly proven to be the correct one, and he’s picked off some nice races north of the border.

He’s had two starts in similar company two what his strikes this week since resuming this time, and I do believe that the rise in trip will be key in his return to winning form.

This race was abandoned on the Gold Coast last week, but almost every galloper has re-accepted, and I am still confident in the chances of Niccanova.

He is unlucky not to have recorded a Group 1 victory during his career, and Niccanova has been one of Queensland’s better gallopers for a few seasons now.

He takes his place in this field second-up and following a competitive fresh effort for fourth in the Keith Noud Quality, and his record at this point of his preparation is excellent.

This is another race pulled over from last weekend’s abandoned meeting and I’m also sticking with Kisukano at a price ($15 at publish).

She was the only horse to deliver Rothfire a defeat during his two-year-old season, and while Kisukano obviously hasn’t scaled the peaks of that rival, she has etched out a lovely record of her own.

She strips fitter for a fair first-up performance for third behind the likes of Kylease at Eagle Farm, and she has missed placing only once at this point of her preparation previously.
