Gun Case looks hard to go past once again at Doomben on Saturday on the back of two good wins this preparation.
Having produced a good run in tough company on debut at Rosehill behind Cosmic Endevour, the Liam Birchley-trained runner was sent for a spell and looks to have come back in good order.
The now four-year-old broke through for a soft kill at Coffs Harbour when resuming before taking on tougher at this C/D last start, winning by a commanding 3.3L.
Slightly up in class today, Gun Case steps out in the Pure Jali 1MW Handicap over 1200m (Race 4 #5) and with 54.5kg to carry looks well placed to make it three on end.
The Birchley stable has been in outstanding form this season, striking at 33% and Glen Colless who has ridden Gun Case both starts this preparation stays on board.
The son of War Pass rates well on weight adjusted Timeform ratings and should be winning this on his way to bigger things throughout the spring perhaps.
Gun Case is currently $1.80 favourtie in the market which looks a good price against the $1.30 he should be against this lot.
Earlier in the day Adorabubble (Race 1 #4) will look to continue her good form having finished runner up in her last two outings.
Drops back to the 1200m today where she has an outstanding record and down in the weights with the 3kg claim will be running on strongly over the final stages.
Looks a fairly open affair but the $5 on offer looks a good each way bet based on recent form and from barrier 10 she should go forward and take running down.
Her second placing behind Shapin Lady two back rates well on weight adjusted Timeform ratings and she is one who is likely to be right in the finish.
Last week saw our bet of the day Kingdoms run a disappointing fifth with our each way play also not featuring in the placings.
Confident Gun Case can get the job done for us this week as he did two weeks ago and Adorabubble looks well placed at the current price of $5
