Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the $200,000 Gold Edition 3YO Plate (race 8) and the Lough Neagh Stakes (race 9).
Isotope (Doomben Race 8 No. 11)
This Deep Field filly has three wins and two places from six starts and looks to have a bright future. She resumed after 22 weeks for 0.75 lengths 2nd over 1050m at Doomben on 7 November, then took over at the 250m and drew away for a 3 length win in the Listed Mode Stakes over 1200m at Doomben on 5 December. Only bad luck will beat her.

Each Way
Courting Verity (Doomben Race 3 No. 12):
This seven-year-old Reset mare has won her last three starts in a row at country tracks and is proven in soft and heavy going. She chased strongly and reached the lead at the 100m to win by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at Toowoomba on 7 November, then worked clear and sprinted off in the final 100m for a 2.5 length win over 1200m at Rockhampton on 22 November. She is in the best form of her career and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Phaistos (Doomben Race 4 No. 4):
This five-year-old Helmet gelding trained by James Cummings is the early favourite in this Open Quality Handicap over 2020m. He battled on steadily for 5 lengths, 0.5 length 3rd over 1600m at Sale on a heavy track when favourite on 25 October, then kept chasing for 1.7 lengths 5th in the Group 3 Festival Stakes over 1500m at Rosehill Gardens on 28 November. He handles wet tracks but I’m waiting for a return of form and don’t see value at this price.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet lobs in the first and is ready to win. Should get every hope from the kind draw. Best Bet Buy Me A Birkin (Coonabarabran Race 1 No. 6) Hasn't missed the placings this prep from 3 goes and won't get a better chance to win than this.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track. Best Bet Zaragoza (Kembla Grange Race 7 No. 2) Surprised it isn't favourite. Enormous win 2 runs back beating a smart one on this track. Found the going too tough fresh but but bumped into a handy field including The Black Cloud who has won convincingly up in grade since. Tough draw but has the

Key Comments The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
