Trainer Tony Gollan believes his decision to bypass the Group Two Sires' Produce Stakes with talented colt Temple Of Boom will be vindicated at Doomben.

Gollan planned to run Temple Of Boom in the 1400m Eagle Farm feature on May 30 after the colt won his comeback over 1000 metres at the same venue on April 21.

However, Gollan will now start Temple Of Boom in Monday's $100,000 Rubicon Design and Construction Plate (1200m) after lowering his sights following the colt's last start third to Coffs Harbour sprinter One Lickety Split in the Listed Golden Stakes (1200m) at Doomben on May 9.

"His run in the Golden Stakes was good. He came off a wide barrier and was caught three deep and was beaten just over one length," Gollan said.

"He's still immature and he seems to race best first-up so I won't push him out to 1400 metres until he's a three-year-old.

"He seems to have developed a pattern by racing well first-up and his second-up runs have been adequate but without winning.

"I'm sure it's a maturity thing with him and in hindsight I've pulled the right rein not running him in the Sires.

"I don't think we could have beaten John Wallace's horse, Shoot Out, the way he won the Sires."

Gollan will spell Temple Of Boom after his Doomben assignment but still has big plans in store for the son of Piccolo as a three-year-old.

"He's going for a spell after this race and I'll get him ready for the Magic Millions Trophy," Gollan said.

"He'll come back into work in time for the spring races and there's a chance he might go to Melbourne towards the end of the carnival if he's going well."

The $1 million Magic Millions Trophy (1400m) will be run at the Gold Coast next January.

Gollan won't be concerned with the track rating at Doomben as Temple Of Boom has won on both good and dry tracks.

"He loves the wet and it won't worry me if the track is rain affected," Gollan said.

Temple Of Boom's grand-dam, Temple Top was trained by the late Bruce McLachlan and was runner-up to the Alan Bailey-trained Scotch Ice in the QBBS Classic (1350m) at Doomben in 1990.

McLachlan, 67, died suddenly last week of a heart attack.

The Queensland Hall Of Fame trainer won 16 Brisbane trainers' premiership in a stellar career and claimed his biggest trophy earlier this year when Phelan Ready's added the Golden Slipper to his Magic Millions Classic.
