Doomben racing tips
—
Looking to score an overdue win is Obstructionist, who owns seven placings from 21 starts, including back-to-back placings at Beaumont and Sunshine Coast.
The Marcus Wilson-trained gelding has yet to run at Doomben, but it’s a track that should suit his running style.
Having Ryan Maloney in the saddle only helps his chances.
Stake: 2 Units
Shadwell Lane has made a positive start to her career with placings at Eagle Farm and Doomben, which is top-level form for maiden racing.
The three-year-old filly by Wootton Bassett was only a length behind the winner at Doomben, and carrying 55.5kg makes her tough to beat.
We expect big bets to come her way on race day.
Stake: 3 Units
Valedictorian is improving enough to win this race after posting consecutive placings at Kembla Grange and Ipswich.
The three-year-old colt by Zoustar gets all favours off the inside draw, and that could be enough for him to take it out.
He has form in stakes racing, which is good enough to see him break maidens.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Seeking back-to-back wins is Busker, who has every chance of winning again against a small field on Wednesday.
The Robert Heathcote-trained gelding hadn’t been racing well, but that was well below his best, so it was good to see his form return.
Look for a market push on race day.
Stake: 1 Unit
Pareto has been right around the mark in two runs back from a spell, and he loomed to win at Ipswich last time out.
The four-year-old son of Pierata owns two wins and two placings overall, which is a tidy form guide, so this field is there for the taking.
We’re happy to include him in our horse racing picks.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Little Jeanie is only a two-time winner, but she has been around the mark in most of her starts.
She also owns nine placings from 20 starts, and she looked good when running second at Doomben last time out.
That form is good enough to figure in the finish here.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Simply Excels showed good consistency last preparation when winning twice and posting three placings from six starts.
The five-year-old son of Exceed and Excel has been primed with two trial wins at Doomben, which should be enough to see the betting support come.
He only needs luck from a wide barrier to figure in the finish.
Stake: 3 Units
Grand Meteor hasn’t been too far away in two runs at Gold Coast this preparation, and she comes back to a track where she has had success.
She owns a win from her only attempt here, and the five-year-old mare is good enough to beat this field on Wednesday.
Barrier 17 hurts but having Maloney riding helps.
Stake: 1.5 Units
