It’s Somewhat will look to follow in the footsteps of numerous popular past champions when he contests the Group 1 Doomben Cup on Saturday.
Odds powered by UBET.
The Darren Beadman-trained import is flying this campaign having won each of his three starts, the latest when making all in the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes (1800m) at the Gold Coast a fortnight ago.
It’s Somewhat is a $4.00 favourite for Saturday’s Group 1 feature event at Doomben where he has drawn barrier 6.
Success on Saturday would see It’s Somewhat claim the Hollindale Stakes – Doomben Cup double and provide Darren Beadman with his first Group 1 victory as a trainer.
A win would also see It’s Somewhat join popular champions such as Rough Habit and Might And Power to have achieved the Hollindale Stakes – Doomben Cup double.
It’s Somewhat’s stiffest opposition looks to come in the form of promising German import Articus ($4.60) who tasted his first success on Australian soil when winning at Flemington a fortnight ago.
The Group 2 Doomben Roses boasts a clash of Sydney’s current leading stable (Chris Waller) and Melbourne’s present top stable (Darren Weir).
Chris Waller’s last start winner Dawn Wall and Weir’s Schweppes Oaks runner up Kenedna are presently vying for favouritism, both at $3.60.
While Weir is represented only by Kenedna, Waller will also saddle up double figure chances Oklahoma Girl ($10.00) and Invincibella ($12.00).
A strong field of sprinters rounds out proceedings at Doomben on Saturday in the Group 3 BRC Sprint (1350m).
New Zealand raider Splurge holds favouritism ($5.00) as he looks to make it four straight wins while Darren Weir saddles up second elect Ulmann $6.00 who has drawn barrier 2.
Darren Beadman fronts up in the BRC Sprint with a dual-pronged attack in the form of Federal $7.50 and Handfast $9.50.
