Form analyst, SCOTT MCDONELL, previews Saturday’s Doomben meeting, with horse racing tips and analysis for all 9 races. Good luck, punters!
Track Condition: Heavy 8
Rail Position: Out 1m entire circuit
HINGED started long odds on favourite at Ipswich last start and she won accordingly relishing the heavy ground. Likely to get a rain affected track here and from ideal draw she can win again.
OUR RED PLANET finished too well last 200m and got up to win maiden here on debut. Better from the race experience and can win again.
BAYERISCHE finished too well to win at Ipswich two starts back then found heavy track last start and only tired final stages. He is up to winning this.
RAYJEN raced on the speed and proved too strong for them last 100m in maiden company this track on debut. No reason cannot go on with it here.
Tip: HINGED
TOTAL RECALL chased home strongly at Eagle Farm last start but could not reel winner in. He gets chance to go one better in this field.
TAVION PRINCE was placed behind the superstar Incentivise at Ipswich last start. Finds easier assignment and will be right in the mix.
TOP ORDER was beaten less than 2 lengths in a similar race to this at Eagle Farm last start. Drawn perfectly and cannot leave him out of chances.
TAKEITTOTHELIMIT has been racing better than finishing positions suggest of late and although drawn wide would include in multiples.
Tip: TOTAL RECALL
ABLE MABEL resumes. Won three of her five career starts. Drawn to get the perfect sit in behind the speed and only needs some clear running from the corner to get away with this.
TRENGGANU was only getting warm when the race was all over at Sunshine Coast first-up. Sure to be better from the outing and a must for place chances.
The omen bet of the weekend is MISS BARTY. She is fresh for this and has been placed first-up. A must for all Australians to support and hopefully she can start the Barty Party.
MAN IN MOTION just keeps winning. Made it two straight at Toowoomba last start and although drawn wide he can sneak into a place.
Tip: ABLE MABEL
INDISPENSABLE chased home Prospectus at Ipswich last start when beaten less than a length. Prospectus has been poor since but from ideal barrier he gets chance to go one better.
SEENTOOMANY ran on strongly and got the job done at Randwick last start. This looks no harder and he gets chance to return to winners stall again.
CINQUEDEA was just bit one paced final stages at Randwick last start but still not beaten all that far. He finds a winnable race and would not leave out of multiples.
Tip: INDISPENSABLE
Always had an opinion of MCCOVEY COVE and this looks a nice race for him at each way value. Will need some luck from wide gate but if he gets some cover should get chance at some stage in straight.
DREAMREACHER comes into this ready third-up from spell. Placed in both runs leading into this and although has horror gate will be a major player.
NORDICUS was impressive from up on the speed at Eagle Farm last start. Drawn the best of the better chances and he can make it two in a row.
Tip: MCCOVEY COVE
BRYNEICH looks juicy odds on an each way basis in this. Ran on back inside and grabbed a minor spot at Eagle Farm last start and if he can hold that form may feature in placings again.
WHISPERED fought the race out strongly when placed in the small field here last start. Will sit back off the speed but with some luck in the straight will give this a shake.
MAHUSSEY has been racing in consistent form. Will find this a little tougher than recent racing but she looks up to it. Definite place claims.
PREDICTABLE MISS has only battled in all three runs this time in but she was not beaten all that far last start and can surprise.
Tip: BRYNEICH
GEE TEE TEE was not disgraced in Listed company last start and that followed soft win here two starts back. Gets his chance to return to winners stall in this.
AXE is the obvious danger. Makes his own luck rolling forward and controlling his races and rarely runs a bad race. Should drive through and lead from ideal barrier and he can win again.
SNOWZONE is yet to show any form in any of his three starts in Sydney this campaign but he finds a suitable race and at long odds can add value to multiples.
EXPLOSIVE QUALITY won her first couple this prep then was placed at Gold Coast last start. Cannot leave out of first four chances.
Tip: GEE TEE TEE
ROMAN AUREUS chased home soundly behind the smart Desert Lord at Ipswich first-up from spell. Strips fitter and from ideal barrier he gets his chance to go one better.
BOLD WARRIOR showed plenty of speed and led at Gold Coast last start before fading late. If he can cross and get his own way up front he will take catching.
ZIEMBA kept coming and grabbed a minor placing at Ipswich first-up from spell. Sure to be better from that outing and cannot leave him out.
Tip: ROMAN AUREUS
KINGSTON’S HERE was dominant first-up at Gold Coast then placed behind the smart Garoppolo here last start. That form looks good enough to get away with this.
REDOUTE’S IMAGE made it two in a row with good tough win at Eagle Farm last start. In winning form and no reason will not be in the mix again.
FLEET DOVE has been beaten less than a length in last two starts and they have both been in Listed company. Finds winnable race here and she will be a major player.
BETTER THAN BEST chased home Redoute’s Image last start and comes into this primed third-up from spell. Will get perfect run from inside barrier.
Tip: KINGSTON’S HERE
