Doomben tips and results

Our price $3.50 · SP $6.00 · Robbie Dolan

The second-up specialist drops significantly in class from Listed company and has an excellent heavy track record. The inside barrier at Doomben's tight track is ideal, and while the 6.5kg weight rise is a concern, the class drop more than compensates.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.80 · Damien Thornton

Galifianakis brings strong credentials as a 2000m specialist with 3 wins from 7 starts at the trip, including success at Doomben. The inside barrier is a significant advantage at this tight track, and his consistency (6 placings from 10 starts) suggests he'll be competitive despite the class rise. The removal of the Equicast could spark improvement.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.00 · Cejay Graham

The Irish represents excellent value after winning over 2200m at Doomben last start on a heavy track. The second-up specialist gets in with just 52kg and has drawn well in barrier 8.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.60 · Tahlia Fenlon

Alectrona brings rock-solid consistency with placings in 10 of her 21 starts. While winless at Doomben, her three seconds from three starts show she handles the track perfectly. The class rise is a concern but her consistency suggests she'll be competitive.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.20 · Daniel Moor

The significant class drop from Open company makes him a major player, and his Doomben record of 1-0-1 is solid. While the 1350m is slightly questionable with limited experience at the trip, his current form and class edge make him a strong chance.

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Ryan Wiggins

The significant drop from Open and Listed company earlier in his career suggests he has the ability to win at this level. With a 28% win strike rate and proven ability on all track conditions, he's overpriced given his recent form and class credentials.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Jasper Franklin

Track/distance winner who maps to lead from barrier 9 on a leaders' track. Has excellent first and second-up records and thrives on good tracks (5 wins from 12 starts). The Vandyke stable is firing and while last start was poor in Open company, the drop back to BM85 suits.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Martin Harley

Consistent type who was placed at Doomben last start and has solid BM85 credentials. While only 1 win from 11 at the track, has been competitive and the 1600m suits with 2 wins and 2 placings. Maps well from barrier 6 and the Heathcote stable is in excellent form.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Tahlia Fenlon

Value play coming off dominant Class 4 win at Rockhampton. Gets in with just 51kg after the claim - 8kg less than topweight. The inside barrier is gold at Doomben 1600m and while the class rise is significant, has shown ability in stronger company previously including competitive efforts in Open grade.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Nikki Olzard

Progressive 5yo with outstanding 36% win rate and current form line of 2-1-1-1-2. Won impressively last start over 1850m and drops significantly in weight to 53kg.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Leslie Tilley

Consistent 6yo gelding coming off a Roma win. His 27% win rate and strong 1600m record (4-3-0) make him a key player. Maps to lead from barrier 4 which suits Doomben's leader-friendly 350m straight. The 62.5kg is a concern but his fitness and form offset this.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Michael Rodd

Acrodance brings winning form and the quick backup suggests trainer confidence.

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Andrew Mallyon

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.90 · Tahlia Fenlon

Epic Proportions won the Listed Keith Noud Quality impressively last start at this track and distance. While rising in class, his form trajectory and track suitability make him the most likely winner.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.10 · Angela Jones

Hidden Wealth draws the golden barrier at Doomben where leaders from inside gates dominate. Won impressively first up and has strong track credentials. The second up query is a concern but barrier 1 at this tight-turning track gives him control of the race.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.50 · Ben E Thompson

Our price $4.50 · SP $8.50 · Damien Thornton

Consistent gelding has been racing well in similar grade with a close 2nd at Doomben last start behind Power Reece. The 5kg weight relief is significant and from barrier 6 should get a good run.

Our price $7.00 · SP $17.00 · Ben E Thompson

Impressive last start winner at this track and distance when defeating Krumac. The wide barrier is a concern but Ben Thompson knows her well. She's unbeaten on soft tracks which could be crucial if conditions deteriorate.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Martin Harley

Interesting runner second up after winning first up at Sunshine Coast. The removal of blinkers suggests connections want him to settle and finish off. From a wide gate he'll need luck but Martin Harley is riding well and the Munce stable rarely misses with their better horses. Represents genuine value.
