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.

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.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is +4 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Hammarmill (Geraldton Race 3 No. 7) Came from well back for a 1.3 length win at this track and distance last start. Up in class but down in weight and looks a major contender. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Bayhara (Geraldton Race 6 No. 8) Came from last to win over 1600m last start

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is in the last and is a progressive type looking to notch up another win. Best Bet Code In Time (Kembla Grange Race 8 No. 2) Has been progressive this prep with 2 strong wins. Strikes a similar race and maps well. No reason why it can't win again taking the leap in grade. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Eye

Key Comments There are two Group 1s plus 5 other Group races. The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Estriella (Morphettville Race 8 No. 12) This 3YO filly has won all 3 starts this campaign and is suited by the set weight conditions. Has been kept fresh and should be hard to beat.

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.
