Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Terrius (Doomben Race 3 No. 4)
This four-year-old Red Dazzler gelding has four wins from 12 starts. He began well and led from the 800m to win by a comfortable 1.3 length margin over 1350m at Ipswich on 24 December. then adopted similar tactics to win by 1.75 lengths over 1640m at Doomben on 7 January. He has good early speed and should be able to bring up a hat-trick of wins here.

Each Way
Good Chat (Doomben Race 4 No. 7):
This three-year-old All Too Hard gelding has three wins and three places from eight starts. He led from the 800m to the home turn and fought hard for 0.1, 0.2 length 3rd over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 26 December, then fought hard again for 0.1, 0.2 length 3rd over 1200m at Gold Coast on 9 January. He always tried hard and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
So Dapper (Doomben Race 7 No. 8):
This five-year-old So You Think horse is the early favourite in this BM 80 Handicap over 2000m. He fought on for 2.2 lengths 4th over 1810m at Eagle Farm on 2 January, then finished 2.75 lengths 2nd in the Magic Millions Open quality handicap over 1800m at Gold Coast on 16 January. He is on a seven day backup and should run well but I don’t think he can win.

Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature is the H C Nitschke Stakes (race 8). The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Fancify (Morphettville Race 9 No. 8) Fancify resumes after 20 weeks and was won both her previous first-up starts. She’s only missed the quinella once in 7 starts and should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Trumpsta (Morphettville Race 3 No. 7)
