Best Bets
Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the New Year’s Day meeting. The feature race is the Group 3 Vo Rogue 3YO Plate (race 7).
Wisdom Of Water (Doomben Race 4 No. 1)
Annabel Neasham can get back-to-back wins with this four-year-old Headwater stallion who has four wins and four places from 19 starts. He chased hard for 2.7 lengths 5th over 1100m at Rosehill on 4 December, then was too good for the rest with a 0.3 length win in the Magic Millions 3&4YO over 1200m at Wyong on 15 December. From barrier 3 Tommy Berry should be able to put him in the box seat and he should win.

Each Way
Tambo’s Mate (Doomben Race 8 No. 4):
This six -year-old Mossman gelding trained by Tony Gollan has 11 wins and six places from 28 starts. He kept chasing for 2.3 lengths 3rd in the Listed Starlight Stakes over 1100m at Rosehill on a heavy track on 27 November, then led throughout for a 0.2 length win in the Listed Tattersall’s Recognition Stakes over 1350m on 4 December. Since then he won a trial on 21 December and looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Vendidit (Doomben Race 2 No. 2):
This five-year-old Hinchinbrook gelding trained by Brian & Daniel Guy is the early favourite in this BM 72 handicap over 2000m. He over-raced early then battled on for 1.7 lengths 5th over 1800m at Gold Coast on 4 December, then finished 2.9 lengths 5th over 1700m at Ipswich on 15 December. Has drawn nicely but hasn’t won at this track before and I’m prepared to risk him.

Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8

Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
