Gillian Heinrich believes her stable star Ghetto Blaster is in the same form as last winter but won't be surprised if Rasmussen causes an upset if given the right conditions in the Keith Noud Quality at Doomben.

Heinrich has always held Ghetto Blaster in high esteem and believes the seven-year-old should be superior to Rasmussen and company in Saturday's $100,000 feature over 1200 metres if the breaks go his way.

However, she feels the weather will be the key to both sprinters' chances with Ghetto Blaster drawn barrier five and Rasmussen in the outside gate, 15.

With the prospect of a rain-affected track, Ghetto Blaster has a good second-up record and is proven in the wet while Rasmussen has two placings on slow tracks but prefers dry surfaces.

"I'd love to swap the alleys around," Heinrich said.

"Ghetto Blaster is a get-back horse so a wide alley wouldn't hurt him and drawing inside would have been better for Rasmussen."

Ghetto Blaster won the Group Two Victory Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm in May before failing at Group One level in the BTC Cup, Doomben 10,000 and Stradbroke Handicap.

He made his comeback after a winter break when finishing seventh, less than two lengths behind the winner Motspur, over 1110 metres at Doomben on November 6.

"Ghetto Blaster will annihilate Rasmussen if the breaks go his way," Heinrich said.

"He's going as good now as when he won the Victory Stakes during the winter and I couldn't be happier with him.

"But he's got such a big stride he needs room and he's a much better horse when he gets to the outside."

Heinrich was delighted with Ghetto Blaster's comeback.

"It was a great run when he was held up all the way down the straight," she said.

"He's got a good record first-up and he always runs well second-up.

"But he couldn't get at them in the last 100 metres last start but he did a great job to finish so close."

Ghetto Blaster will proceed to the Group Three George Moore Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm next month after his Doomben assignment.

The son of Lujain, who has won 10 of his 24 starts, finished fourth, less than two lengths behind the winner Burdekin Blues, in last year's George Moore Stakes which was run at Doomben before claiming the Listed Doomben Stakes (1350m).

Heinrich has retained Brad Stewart for Ghetto Blaster and has booked Chris Munce to ride Rasmussen who hasn't started since finishing 12th to Catapulted in the Group Two QTC Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm on June 5.

"Chris (Munce) is a great judge of pace and if he can get across and give Rasmussen an easy lead, he'll be hard to beat," Heinrich said.

"Rasmussen has never been better and he's a big chance as well if the track is dry."

The son of Flying Spur might be an eight-year-old but he showed he had lost none of his zest when he easily won a 1060-metre barrier trial at Doomben last week.

His first-up record stands at four wins and three seconds from 10 starts.
