Doomben Racing Tips for Wednesday, August 26th 2026

First race in 3h 12m

We have expert betting tips for racing at Doomben on Wednesday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Queensland meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:33) Become a BRC Member Maiden (1350m)

#3 - Indamouse

BET NOW

Indamouse is nearing a maiden win after consecutive fourths at Eagle Farm and Sunshine Coast, which are good form guides.

The David Vandyke-trained gelding by Nicconi settled back last start and finished off stoutly, so punters should expect similar tactics.

Barrier four with Ryan Maloney riding adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:08) Gallopers Sports Club Maiden (1350m)

#4 - Indigo Star

BET NOW

Chris Waller lines up Indigo Star, who wasn’t too far away when fourth at Wyong last time out, and coming to Queensland won’t hurt his chances.

The five-year-old son of Zoustar owns eight placings from 19 starts, and he’s due a win, and this isn’t an overly tough maiden affair.

The inside draw suits, so he’s a good bet.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (13:43) Drinkwise Maiden (1200m)

#2 - Compel

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut is Compel, who comes off a Doomben trial win by a length.

The Munce-trained filly is bred to show early speed, being by Spirit of Boom, and the booking of Maloney adds to her appeal.

We expect money to come for her on race day, so take the early price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:18) XXXX Gold Maiden (1200m)

#3 - Captain Blood

BET NOW

Captain Blood ran third on debut at Pakenham behind Leopard Shark, and changing stables could see his form improve.

It wasn’t a bad placing, but after two trials in Queensland, including two placings, he looks ready to deliver the goods for punters.

He’s in the Tony Gollan stable, so he’ll be well-educated for his QLD debut.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:53) Family Raceday Book Now C1 (1110m)

#10 - Tasman Bay

BET NOW

Tasman broke maidens with an impressive win at Sunshine Coast, and she could rise through the grades.

The five-year-old mare by Zousain scored by 3.5 lengths in an impressive display, and it suggested that rising in class holds no fears.

A race day betting guide could be telling with this runner.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:28) Sky Racing C5 (1660m)

#4 - Barbray

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Barbray, who scored at Sunshine Coast two back before winning again at Eagle Farm last time out.

The five-year-old son of Zoustar is a four-time winner from 19 starts overall, and he should enjoy running at Doomben for the first time.

He’s in good hands with Chris Waller, which adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:03) Century Pools C3 (1200m)

#9 - Our Huntress

BET NOW

Our Huntress has enjoyed the move to Queensland after posting back-to-back wins at Eagle Farm and Ipswich.

The former NSW runner will need luck from a wide barrier, but she can settle midfield and come with a good late burst.

With 54kg on her back, she can’t be left out of horse racing picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (16:38) Ladbrokes Place Extra BM68 (1350m)

#5 - Artful Persuasion

BET NOW

Punters should get value odds for Artful Persuasion, who should be fitter for two runs this preparation.

The six-year-old son of Flying Artie owns a placing from three attempts at Doomben, and he should add to his record on Wednesday.

Include him in picks at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
