Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The Harrovian (Doomben Race 6 No. 1)
This Fastnet Rock gelding trained by Stephen Massingham at Cairns has won eight races in a row giving him a career record of 14 starts and 4 places from 27 starts. He wound up from the top of the straight and stormed down the outside to win the Cairns Newmarket over 1400m by 1.75 lengths on 28 August, then was slowly away and got held up but still managed a narrow win in an open quality handicap over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 3 October. Will be hard to beat.

Each Way
Grey Missile (Doomben Race 7 No. 7):
This six-year-old gelding trained by Toby Edmonds has 10 wins and 13 places from 35 starts. He has often carried big weights to win in North Queensland and has 5 wins at this distance. He finished last campaign with 1.25 lengths 2nd over 1300m at Gold Coast on 8 May then was spelled for 22 weeks. He resumed for 5.3 lengths 7th over 1200m at Doomben on 10 October,where he was crowded at the start, got back in running and was never a chance. He has won 4 from 5 second-up and can handle soft and heavy going so looks an excellent each-way bet.

Best Lay
So You Win (Doomben Race 5 No. 3):
This six-year-old So You Think gelding is the early favourite in this BM 90 Handicap over 2040m. He was well back and never really got clear when 3.7 lengths 9th in the Group 2 Shannon Stakes over 1500m at Rosehill on 26 September, then didn’t run on when switched inside runners but did have the best 800m-400m race sectional when 7.7 lengths 8th in the Spring Mile over 1600m at Randwick on 17 October 2020. He needs to lift and doesn’t represent value.

Key Comments The feature races include the Wellington Showcase Cup (race 6) and the Wellington Boot (race 7). The best bet comes up in the last at healthy odds. Best Bet Man From Brussells (Wellington Race 8 No. 5) Could surprise these at odds. Proven in this grade, drawn well and has the race fitness over its dangers. Seems over the odds in early markets and finds a winnable race. Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments An 8 race program takes place. The track is in the soft range. The best bet bumped into a handy one last time out and is big odds. Best Bet Suppose I Do (Sale Race 6 No. 6) Bumped into Big Swinger last time out who is destined for some good races.

Key Comments An evening meeting with the first race at 6.10 pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +2 metres the entire circuit. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with an advantage to those who find the inside lanes in the straight.
