Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Chico Milagro (Doomben Race 3 No. 8)
This I Am Invincible gelding won well last start and goes well on soft going. He battled on for 2.7 lengths 6th over 1350m at Ipswich on 18 July, then settled midfield and took over at the 250m and raced away for a 4 length win over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 1 August. That was a nice win and this looks a suitable race for him to make it back-to-back wins.

Each Way
Sir Barnabus (Doomben Race 2 No. 2):
This Rothesay gelding tends to race well at this distance range. He came from 9th to finish 0.5 lengths, 0.2 lengths 3rd over 2150m at Ipswich on 18 July where he was doing his best work late. Last start he took over at the 250m and drew away for a strong 2.5 length win over 2200m at Eagle Farm on 1 August. He looks worth an each-way bet at the current price.

Best Lay
Bering Sea (Doomben Race 5 No. 8):
This Pierro gelding is the early favourite in this BM 78 handicap over 1600m. He finished 0.8 lengths 2nd over 1640m at Doomben on a soft track on 29 July, then was brushed at the 250m, fought on and protested unsuccessfully against the winner to be 2nd over 1650m at Doomben on 12 August. He hasn’t won in 6 previous races at Doomben and does not look like value.

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
