Doomben Race 8 Tip #3 Rebel Salute $2.60
The son of Deep Field was never on the track last start over this same track and distance and grade.
He was three wide throughout and still finished off strong into second placing and managed to run past Getyourgreyon, who he clashes with again here.
Prior to that run when first-up, he raced on the pace before breaking clear in the straight and winning comfortably.
Michael Rodd has the ride again and he will be keen to take a nice sit in the first half a dozen.
Expect him to get the favours this time and should just be too good for them.

Newcastle Race 3 Tip #1 Write On $3.10
This Written Tycoon gelding returns to the races off a spell and looks set to break his maiden today.
He's been given two trials in preparation for his first-up tilt, winning both in good style.
Stable jockey Josh Parr was onboard for both efforts and takes the ride today, which signals strong intent from the stable.
He was ridden out in both trial wins, which gives us confidence that the stable have him fit enough for this first-up tilt.
From barrier 1, look for Parr to be positive and take up the lead, before proving too strong over the concluding stages.
