Liesele is back in town after a spring excursion to Melbourne and looks to have found a perfect race at Doomben on Saturday.

Quick recap of last weekend first – we went two for three but missed the clean sweep when our bet of the day, Carmine King, put in a pitiful showing to be beaten 6.5L by Keep It Moist.

Well the rain kept coming last weekend and Eagle Farm ended up as a pretty heavy track unsurprisingly, and that’s no fun for anyone.

The first thing you’ll notice about this afternoon’s Doomben program is just how tricky it looks.

No doubt a few of you are in ‘post winter carnival blues’ mode at present, now the top-notch horses are all back in the paddock tuning up for the spring.
