ANOTHER DOLLAR TO CASH IN ON STRONG FORM

[Chief Stipe]

Another Day.

Talented New Zealand-bred mare Another Dollar has never won at Doomben but she has the best form on the track of the runners in Saturday’s Membership at BRC Handicap (2020m).

The race has attracted a disappointing field of six but it is one of the more interesting races because every runner has a chance of winning.

Another Dollar, who heads trainer Chris Waller’s three runners, has had five starts at Doomben for four seconds and a third.

It may not sound all that impressive until it is realised the seconds have included in the Listed The Bracelet (1630m), Gr.2 The Roses (2000m) and Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2200m).

Another Dollar has not won since taking a benchmark race at Toowoomba in April last year but she has since picked up more than A$220,000 in prize money.

Another Dollar has raced in Sydney and Melbourne since last winter but showed she was back near her best with a third in the Listed Mumm Stakes (1800m) at Eagle Farm three weeks ago.

Waller’s Queensland manager Paul Shailer said he expected good efforts from all three runners.

“It is a funny thing to say about a horse that has never won on the track but Another Dollar goes well at Doomben,” Shailer said.

“Her only attempt at the track and distance was a second to Youngstar in The Roses and that is good form for this.

“She was then a very good second in the Queensland Oaks at Doomben.

“If any horse deserves a win it is her.”

Ryan Maloney who is coming a successful comeback from injury has the ride on the daughter of Ocean Park.

Shailer said race rival Savacool was looking for 2000m after running second over 1600m on a heavy track at the Sunshine Coast two weeks ago.

“He was a Flemington winner at 1800m in the spring so the trip here won’t be a worry,” he said. -AAP
