Doomben Racing Tips for Wednesday, August 5th 2026

Ended

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 (1650m)

#6 - Highland Kitty

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consistent form is Highland Kitty, who is getting close after four consecutive second placings.

The five-year-old son of Highland Reel ran second at Doomben last time out behind Saturdays Girl, which should be a good form guide.

Getting 1.5kg off his back is enough to see him beat this field.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:08) Mekka Raceday 22 August Maiden (1350m)

#2 - Dragon Magic

BET NOW

Looking to improve after two runs is Dragon Magic, who ran fifth on debut at Gold Coast before running seventh at Eagle Farm.

The three-year-old son of Dracarys hopes to breathe fire on the rest of the field, and getting the inside draw is enough to take him close.

Look for a betting move on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:43) The Gibson Maiden (1350m)

#1 - Moscow Mule

BET NOW

Moscow Mule is nearing a win after posting placings in both starts at Eagle Farm and Doomben.

The four-year-old son of Eminent was only 1.5 lengths behind the winner last start as an odds-on favourite, and it was a tidy effort in defeat.

He’s in good hands, which adds his appeal.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:18) Sky Racing BM65 (1650m)

#4 - Empire of Art

BET NOW

Empire of Art has been all around the mark without winning this preparation, but it’s only a matter of time.

The six-year-old son of Best Solution is already a three-time placegetter this prep for Chris Waller, including two back at Ipswich.

It’s not an overly tough field, so he could take advantage.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:53) Country Music Raceday 15 August C3 (2060m)

#10 - Old Faithful

BET NOW

Old Faithful looked good when scoring two back at Sunshine Coast before placing last time out, which is solid enough form.

The five-year-old gelding by Reliable Man gets in with 54kg, which is a luxury weight, which should make a big different.

Look for a betting push on race day as a guide.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:28) Drinkwise C1 (1200m)

#8 - La Profecia

BET NOW

Tony Gollan lines up La Profecia, who showed good speed to win two back, and something close to that would be good enough.

The four-year-old son of Divine Prophet was only two lengths behind the winner last time out, so that was a good run in defeat.

The inside draw is ideal, which is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:03) XXXX Gold C1 (1200m)

#6 - Don't Doubt Missy

BET NOW

Robert Heathcote lines up Don’t Doubt Missy, who ended last preparation with a win at Eagle Farm.

The four-year-old mare by Doubtland owns a win and three placings from five starts, and barrier four is ideal.

She should give punters a sight, so include her in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:38) Ladbrokes Odds Surge C3 (1350m)

#8 - Land Bank

BET NOW

Land Bank has yet to fire in two runs at Doomben, but the five-year-old gelding could show something this time around.

The five-year-old son of Territories owns two wins and four placings from 11 starts overall, including a third placing fresh up at Ipswich.

Barrier two with 55.5kg on his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit
