Wet weather in Brisbane has Winter Carnival trainers worried WET-TRACKER: Renita Beaton rides Rob Heathcote-trained Fire Up Fifi at trackwork at Doomben. Fire Up Fifi beat stablemate Solzhenitsyn on the wet track. Picture: Peter Wallis Source: The Courier-Mail MORE gloomy weather over Brisbane this morning has the connections of many Queensland carnival runners concerned ahead of Saturday's Group 1 Doomben Cup meeting. Cup favourites Lights Of Heaven and Foreteller have no trouble in wet ground but some rivals would prefer the track to dry out before Saturday. BTC Cup winning jockey Peter Robl partnered $5.50 Doomben Cup hope Lamasery in a spin around Doomben this morning and said he was happy with the way the David Dan Dyke-trained galloper performed. But he's a horse that wants it no worse than dead. Ryan Wiggins on Famous Seamus and Melissa Ryan on Zabeelionaire at trackwork at Doomben. Leon Corstens also is hoping for the sun to start shining for his Cup hope Zabeelionaire, who worked on the course proper this morning. Rob Heathcote is hoping this week turns out better than the last seven days but warned Solzhenitsyn would not run in the Lord Mayor's Cup if the track was severely rain affected. "I would have no hesitation in scratching him if it was heavy, because as you saw this morning (in a gallop where he was soundly beaten by stablemate Fire Up Fifi) he just doesn't appreciate it," Heathcote said. In addition to a $500 fine for conduct contrary to the image of racing and Buffering missing the start in the BTC Cup, Heathcote's week from hell was made worse when he missed the Doomben Cup nomination deadline for Solzhenitsyn last Tuesday. "I'm a lot more comfortable with it now," he said. We can freshen him for the Stradbroke and he will be hard to beat in this race on Saturday if it's not too wet. The forecast is actually pretty good, but we didn't want to be waking up to this (rain) this morning. Grahame Begg watched on as his dual Group 1 winning mare Secret Admirer had her first look at Doomben ahead of Saturday's Cup. The Dubawi mare is nearing retirement but her gallop this morning suggested there could still be one more big race win in her.
