Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Mix (Doomben Race 7 No. 3)
With three wins from three starts this campaign, Lee Freedman is putting this four-year-old Medaglia d’Oro gelding in the right races. He was bumped at the start before going on to a 0.2 length win over 1200m at Gold Coast on soft going on 11 December, then led all the way for a lovely 2.5 length win over 1200m at Kilcoy on 13 January. Rates highly.

Each Way
Bengal Bandit (Doomben Race 4 No. 1):
This four -year-old Brazen Beau gelding trained by Lauren Abbott has four wins and six places from 13 starts. He battled on for 3 lengths 3rd in an Open Handicap over 1600m at Ballina on 27 December, then bolted in for a 3.5 length win on heavy going over 1600m at Ipswich on 8 January. Has drawn the outside barrier but has the speed to overcome that. Looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Kipsbay (Doomben Race 5 No. 11):
This Capitalist gelding trained by Chris Waller is the early favourite in this 3YO colts and geldings handicap over 1200m. He had some problems when 3 lengths 6th over 1000m at Warwick Farm on 1 December, then chased hard for 0.4 length 2nd over 1100m at Canterbury on 17 December. Still a maiden against a field where most have already tasted victory. Offers no value.

Horse Racing Tips: Sha Tin, Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments There is a huge 11-race program where the feature is the Group 3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup over 2400m (race 8). The rail is in the B position. There is plenty of rain forecast so the track will be a yielding surface. The first race is at 12.30 pm Hong Kong time which is 2.30 pm AEST. Best Bet Storming Dragon (Sha Tin Race 7 No. 8) Storming Dragon finished a length 3rd at his only start. He’s won a trial
