Doomben Racing Tips for Wednesday, June 17th 2026

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. (12:32) The Gibson Maiden (1200m)

#2 – Apex Predator

BET NOW

Apex Predator is unbeaten at the trials, and she could make a winning debut for the Hoysted stable.

The two-year-old filly by Tiger of Malay won two trials at Doomben, including a 2.3-length win last time out.

That’s good enough form to win on debut, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:07) Become a BRC Member Maiden (1200m)

#5 – Jet Two Mars

BET NOW

The two-year-old son of Strasbourg could sneak under the radar despite coming off a trial placing at Beaumont.

He looks like a strong enough type to handle this field, and the addition of Ryan Maloney in the saddle is a good sign.

We’re happy to include him in picks as a value chance.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:42) Sky Racing Maiden (1350m)

#1 – Iconify

BET NOW

Tony Gollan lines up Iconify, who ran third at Ipswich fresh up before battling on gamely for fourth at Doomben.

Improvement is needed to start winning races, but with fitness under his belt, he should show something better at this level.

Getting 3kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:18) Cricks Highway BM70 (1200m)

#5 – Nepravda

BET NOW

Robert Heathcote lines up Nepravda, who is getting close to posting a win this preparation after two placings from three starts.

The four-year-old mare by Russian Revolution doesn’t mind running on wet tracks, and getting the inside draw adds to her appeal.

She should run at each-way odds, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:53) Drinkwise BM65 (1200m)

#9 – Stein

BET NOW

Stein owns a win and three placings from four starts, and her recent trial win at Doomben is a good sign.

The three-year-old filly by Written By wasn’t far behind a good field at Eagle Farm last start, and she could settle handy and kick well.

We expect a positive return to the track.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:28) XXXX Gold C1 (1650m)

#2 – Carnegie Hill

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive second placings is Carnegie Hill, who was only narrowly beaten at Gold Coast last time out.

The four-year-old son of I Am Invincible has winning form in soft conditions, and she won’t mind racing in heavy conditions.

It’s an even field, so include her at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:03) Mullins Lawyers BM70 (1650m)

#7 – Saint Alwyn

BET NOW

Boasting consistent form is Saint Alwyn, who owns three wins and three placings from nine starts.

The three-year-old son of Zoustar has yet to finish worse than third at Doomben, including a win, so the track form reads well.

The draw doesn’t help, but he has time to find cover and go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (16:34) Ladbrokes Place Extra BM65 (1350m)

#6 – Kundaberg

BET NOW

Kundaberg doesn’t have form on the board this preparation, but we’re giving the Chris Waller-trained runner a chance.

The four-year-old son of Super Seth has a win in heavy conditions, and he should be fitter with racing under his belt.

Maloney rides, and he could end the day on a high.

Stake: 1 Unit
