Doomben Racing Tips for Wednesday, May 27th 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. (12:02) Gallopers Sports Club Maiden (1350m)

#3 – Saturdays Girl

Chris Waller lines up Saturdays Girl, who owns six placings from 19 starts, and it’s only a matter of time before she breaks through.

The four-year-old mare by Zoustar comes off a third placing at Eagle Farm when settling back, and she should finish off nicely again.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:37) Become a BRC Member Maiden (1350m)

#7 – Hard Knox

BET NOW

Hard Knox comes off back-to-back placings, and although they came at Sunshine Coast Synthetic, he should run well here.

The Stuart Kendrick-trained gelding was only a nose behind the winner last time out, and dropping from 1400m to 1350m only helps his chances.

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

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:12) Sky Racing Maiden (1200m)

#5 – Jet Two Mars

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut is Jet Two Mars, who hasn’t been too far away in two trial efforts.

The two-year-old son of Strasbourg placed at Gold Coast and Beaudesert, and having Ryan Maloney in the saddle adds to his appeal.

Punters should get each-way odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:47) Ladbrokes Stradbroke Calcutta BM78 (2200m)

#4 – Captain Maverick

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings is Captain Maverick, who placed at Eagle Farm before adding two placings at Ipswich.

The five-year-old son of Free Eagle is only a two-time winner from 25 starts, but he also has 13 placings on his record.

Getting the inside draw is enough to see him win.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:22) XXXX Gold C1 (1110m)

#6 – Excenia

BET NOW

A consistent runner is Excenia, who played at Kyneton fresh up before running second in her Queensland debut.

The three-year-old filly by Exceed and Excel owns a win and four placings from seven starts, and she should post a top three finish again.

Barrier four is ideal, so she should get all favours.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (14:57) Mullins Lawyers BM78 (1200m)

#7 – Joy a Plenty

BET NOW

The four-year-old mare by Heroic Valour comes off back-to-back wins at Ipswich, and that form should hold up well at Doomben.

She owns six wins from 21 starts, including two over the distance, and it’s another premium ride for Maloney, who could have a big day.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:32) Cricks Highway BM70 (1630m)

#5 – Sweet Proposal

BET NOW

Sweet Proposal was good enough to win consecutive wins last preparation at Sunshine Coast and Ipswich, and that form stacks up nicely.

The five-year-old mare by Dundeel is bred to enjoy her fresh up run, and she will improve with that run under her belt.

2kg comes off her back, which is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:07) Ladbrokes Mates Mode C2 (1350m)

#4 – Kundaberg

BET NOW

Kundaberg is better than what he showed fresh up, but punters should expect quick improvement.

The four-year-old son of Super Seth won at Randwick last preparation, and having winning form in Sydney bodes well.

It’s an even betting field, so include in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
