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.

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 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:
