Brisbane Best- December 12

3 minute read

The scratching of Peace Force has left the door open for Weinholt in the Lough Neagh Stakes (1350m) at Doomben on Saturday.

Weinholt Picture: Racing and Sports

The Peter Moody-trained runner has been racing well in Melbourne of late and proved too good form Gallant Harmony over the 1200m at Ballarat last start.

The five-year-old gelding rates well against these on what he has produced in recent times and goes up to the 1350m for this.

Should get a fairly good run around midfield from barrier 4 and Glen Boss will take the ride for the first time.

Fifth up now should be at his peak and the current price of $3.50 looks a good bet with his current form.

Saluter and Fontelina shape up as the main dangers but expect Weinholt to be getting to the line strongly.

Earlier in the program Mr Favulous (Race 2 #3) will look to build on a good first up win at this C/D last time out.

Won’t find this any tougher today and apprentice jockey goes on board to claim a much needed 3kg.

Possesses a handy record when second up previously and from barrier 8 would expect him to go forward again today and take plenty of running down.

The seven-year-old gelding does his best racing over this trip and he certainly appears to have come back in very good order.

The current price of $7.50 looks a good each way bet for a horse with his form and would expect him to be fighting out the finish.

Good luck!

Group Two-winning sprinter Fontelina won his first race since November 2013 at his fourth run this preparation since being transferred to Eagle Farm trainer Tony Gollan. He enjoyed a perfect trip in fourth place on the rails from his good barrier (2). He was travelling well but blocked briefly on straightening, got a split at the 200m, hit the front at the 100m and went on to win comfortably. It was also a good ride by Jim Byrne. Favourite Saluter went to the front but was pressured in the mid-stages (by Temple Of Boom). He drew to a clear lead at the 200m but could not hold off the winner in the closing stages after his early efforts for a good second. Weinholt had an ideal trip in third place behind the leaders, briefly looked a chance when he moved up at the 200m and battled on from there to just hold the minor placing from Gundy Spirit who ran on from sixth at the home turn for (2.3 lengths) fourth.
