Forster, Marshall chase Doomben 2YO double
Trainer Desleigh Forster is seeking 2YO wins with jockey Taylor Campbell at Doomben.
Desleigh Forster and Taylor Marshall can confirm their status as Brisbane’s form trainer-jockey partnership when they target two-year-old races at Doomben.
They will combine with Boom Spender in the 2YO Colts & Geldings Handicap (1200m) and Eelloh in the 2YO Fillies Handicap (1200m).
Marshall has ridden 12 winners for Forster at a 20 per cent success rate.
As a combination the duo are showing a staggering $198 profit on a $1 the win unit on each of their runners.
Much of that windfall is attributed to Eelloh winning a two-year-old race at the Sunshine Coast at $10 in April.
Forster spelled Eelloh straight after that win to give her time to mature.
“She improved out of sight in a short time last preparation, she has had a good spell and trialled OK,” Forster said.
“She just has a tricky barrier (10) on Saturday.”
Boom Spender has drawn barrier five for his second run back from a spell.
“He was good when second first-up and I said before that run he was wanting the run,” Forster said.
“Both horses are raced by loyal supporters of the stable and wins would be a nice way to end the season.”
Forster’s support has seen Marshall’s profile blossom in recent months, a boost illustrated by his recent Listed Glasshouse Handicap win on Krone for top Brisbane trainer Tony Gollan.
