There are a few queries over Booming's credentials for the Queen's Cup, but Brad Thompson hopes it just means better odds offered on Betfair...

Booming will line up in the Group 3 race over 3200m on Saturday at Eagle Farm as the likely favourite.

But there are a couple of question marks around his form - which should have Betfair layers on the exchange licking their lips.

The New Zealander has never won in Australia - in fact he hasn't tasted victory for 18 months.

Booming is having his second campaign in Australia for his kiwi trainer Jeff Lynds after making a late dash at the spring feature staying races without success.

This time in Brisbane, he has had three runs, with his most recent - a slashing second behind Ginga Dude in the G3 Tatts Cup - clearly his best.

While there are a few negatives around Booming, this is a race void of any serious depth. He is the only horse with both a touch of class and the ability to run a strong two miles.

Another big plus for Booming is that he gets the service of gun Brisbane hoop Chris Munce, who last week notched 100 wins in a season.

The pair should be winning this race, so my money is definitely on Booming.
