Doomben racing tips

Race 1. (12:33) Gallopers Sports Club Maiden (1200m)

#1 – Boomshanka

Boomshanka showed good early pace when finishing second at Doomben before finishing fifth behind Grafterburners at the Gold Coast.

That form should stack up eventually at the midweek level, and she’s better than her recent form suggests, so we’re happy to give her another chance.

We expect money to come for her on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:08) Become a BRC Member Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Guardsman

We were pleased with the run from Guardsman last start at Eagle Farm when running 2.1 lengths behind Miss Force.

The three-year-old colt by Extreme Choice ran at $4.40 odds last start, so we expect a solid market push this time around.

If he gets cover from the draw, he should be right in the mix.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:43) Sky Racing Maiden (1350m)

#6 – Some Style

Some Style has been awfully close to breaking through with four placings from seven starts, and she’s in the right hands.

The Tony Gollan-trained mare by Exceed and Excel doesn’t need to improve too much to handle this field, and her placing at Doomben last start was good.

She’s one of our more confident bets on the card.

Stake: 3.5 Units

Race 4. (14:18) Trackside with Ricky Ponting C1 (1200m)

#13 – Frostfire

Frostfire comes off a third placing at Eagle Farm, and he shouldn’t be worried about this level of racing.

The Michael Freedman-trained gelding won on debut at Newcastle, and having form in New South Wales adds to his appeal.

Barrier two is ideal, so punters should expect a tidy effort

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:53) Country Music Raceday C1 (1200m)

#5 – Divine Source

Divine Source won well fresh up at Ipswich before getting back to solid form with a last start placing.

The four-year-old mare has made a good start to her career, and we expect her to be competitive against this level of opposition.

Look for each-way odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:28) Spring Carnival Book Now BM68 (2050m)

#8 – Simply Fun

Looking to cap off consistent form is Simply Fun, who has three consecutive placings at three different tracks.

The four-year-old owns two placings at Doomben, so he likes the track, and we can’t see him going too much longer without another win.

It’s an even field, so the odds could be generous.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:03) XXXX Gold BM65 (1110m)

#7 – Lucifer’s Way

Lucifer’s Way is gunning for three consecutive wins after scoring at Sunshine Coast and Grafton, which is good form for midweek racing at Doomben.

The David Vandyke-trained gelding won at $4 odds last start, which were generous, but he could be shorter this time around.

Ryan Maloney rides, so expect a good ride from out wide.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:38) Ladbrokes Punter Assist C3 (1350m)

#12 – Acapulco Girl

Consistent form is with Acapulco Girl, who owns two wins and three second placings from five career starts.

The Vandyke-trained mare hasn’t done much wrong, so it’s tough to bet against her, and she can turn around a defeat at $1.40 odds.

Look for better odds this time around and include her in horse racing picks.

Stake: 2.5 Units
