Doomben tips and results

Our price $2.10 · SP $1.60 · Ben E Thompson

The clear form pick. She was city-placed against far stronger company earlier in the year and resumed with an honest Ipswich fourth, running on well late. Second-up now for David Vandyke with Ben Thompson aboard, a pairing that goes well at Doomben.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Brandon Lerena

Improving four-year-old who posted a career-best effort last time when second over 1300m at Toowoomba, travelling well in the run before going down fighting. She steps up to a suitable trip and maps to settle in the first half of the field.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.30 · Ron Stewart

He led over 1400m at the Gold Coast last start and was beaten a nose with blinkers on for the first time, producing the best single run in this line-up. From barrier 2 he can lead or sit handy, which is exactly where you want to be over 1350m at Doomben. The concern is consistency and a jockey who has been struggling for winners locally.

Our price $21.00 · SP $51.00 · Bella Youngberry

From barrier 1 he should lead or sit right on the speed, exactly the profile that wins 1350m maidens at Doomben. His form in Queensland maidens is honest — a couple of narrow seconds and a third — and his last-start flop came after racing wide from a poor gate.

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.00 · Daniel Moor

He draws the advantageous inside barrier and gets an in-form Daniel Moor aboard, a combination that maps to sit midfield with cover.

Our price $9.00 · SP $16.00 · Martin Harley

He has contested much stronger races than a midweek maiden and the first-time ear muffs and nose band suggest the Munce team is looking to sharpen him.

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.20 · Bella Youngberry

Rosso Levanto is the form runner of the race. She settles in the first few, which suits a slowly run staying contest and Doomben's on-pace lean, and both stable and rider are going well.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Taylor Marshall

Cantarito is an improving Waller mare who won a 1700m event at Ipswich last start, producing one of the best clock performances in this line-up when sweeping home from midfield. She is a reliable place-getter with a stack of minor placings and her jockey is riding in excellent form. The concern is her get-back style from a wide gate in what shapes as a slowly run staying contest, so she is preferred for the minors.

Our price $15.00 · SP $31.00 · Jake Bayliss

Our Turn Now appeals as the each-way value. The six-year-old is drawn the inside gate and races on the pace, exactly the profile that suits a slow-tempo staying contest at Doomben where forward, inside runners are favoured. He led and went under narrowly over 2020m last start and drops in class here.

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.00 · Jag Guthmann-Chester

Won at this trip and grade last start and that was the strongest performance in the field, settling off them before running over the top. He also has a win and two placings from four Doomben starts, so he handles the track. The worry is his get-back style at a venue that rewards horses on the speed, plus a jockey who has gone 20 rides without a winner.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.00 · Bella Youngberry

Maps to get the run of the race from barrier two, settling just off the speed with only 53kg on his back. He has won here before and his mile record is honest, and his rider is going very well. The knock is a poor winning strike rate, one win from 18 starts, and he was plain in weaker grade at his last two outings.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Robbie Dolan

He is the likely leader from a good draw at a track that strongly favours horses on the speed, and he gets class relief after contesting stronger races. He is a non-winner though, with no wins from seven at the trip and a habit of fading when he leads.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Michael Rodd

Heathcote gelding who loves the 1350m and drops sharply out of tougher BM78 races.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Ben E Thompson

He won this very race two starts ago, settling just off the speed, and returns to the same track, trip and grade. His latest run can be forgiven entirely after he was caught wide and crowded over 1600m. From barrier one he should get a soft run and he saves his best for Doomben and good ground. Solid each-way claims.

Our price $2.90 · SP $2.10 · Ben E Thompson

The class runner of the field, dropping back from stronger company after two cracking closing efforts over 1000m. She saves ground from the inside alley and a hot early tempo should play right into her hands, letting her sweep home late. Top jockey-trainer combination and the right race shape make her the one to beat, though she will need luck to thread through traffic from back in the field.

Our price $11.00 · SP $26.00 · Emily Lang

She won doing it easily at Ipswich and drops in weight, and the leading local stable has her going well.
