The son of Dandy Man failed to win in seven starts for Waller before being sold to clients of Bruce who once worked as a foreman Sydney’s Bjorn Baker and Melbourne’s Ciaron Maher and David Eustace.
However, Galifianakis has gone on to win five times since joining Bruce’s stables.
“This is just a starting point for him and he’ll need this run,” Bruce said.
“I don’t have any targets with him just yet as our aim is to win a Saturday race in town.”
Galifianakis has never won first-up but has placed twice in four attempts.
He likes Doomben after recording a win and two placings in four goes at the track.
