Purrfect Deal (Doomben Race 6 No. 9)
This Dundeel mare trained by Michael Costa on the Gold Coast has had four starts for two wins and a place. She settled 4th took over at the 150m and raced away for a 4.5 length win over 1400m at Gold Coast on 10 October, then was 2nd most of the way but couldn’t keep up with the winner for 2 lengths 2nd over 171om at Ipswich on 21 October. Looks a likely winner.

Each Way
All To Do (Doomben Race 5 No.4):
This four-year-old All Too Hard gelding trained by Stuart Kendrick has finished runner-up at all three starts this campaign for a career record of one win and five places from eight starts. He fought on but was no match for the winner when 2.3 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 25 September, then led and paired off at the 200m and was outmuscled late for 0.3 length 2nd over 1200m at Sunshine Coast on 18 October. He drops in weight and looks a good each-way bet.

Usmanov (Doomben Race 8 No. 6):
This five-year-old Choisir gelding is the early favourite in this Open Quality Handicap over 1110m. He resumed from a spell for 2.25 lengths 2nd over 900m at Gold Coast on 19 September, then hit the front at the 150m but got caught by the winner for 0.3 length 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 3 October. He is finding it hard to get another win and I suspect something will beat him again.

Horse Racing Tips: Sha Tin, Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments There is a 10-race program split between the turf and all-weather tracks. For the turf the rail is in the C+3 position. There are showers forecast but the track should remain Good.
