Racing returns to Doobmen on Saturday afternoon where a competitive nine-race meeting is set down for decision. Clear skies and a top of 23 degrees are forecast for Brisbane, and with the rail placed at the +0.5m the entire circuit, there will be no excuses for fancied runners. The first race is set to jump at 11:42am AEST.
Best Bet at Doomben: Spywire
Spywire finds a winnable Class 3 back in grade, and the set-weights/penalty conditions suit a horse with his metro ratings profile. He’s race fit, draws to park just off them from barrier 10, and Ryan Maloney sticks for Ciaron Maher — a combo that maps to sit within striking range on a Soft 5. His recent Sydney efforts read well for this and his record at 1100-1200m is rock-solid. If he begins cleanly, Spywire’s class should carry him late.
Best Bet
Race 6 – #13 Spywire (10)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Ryan Maloney (58.5kg)
Next Best at Doomben: Taltarni Fields
Taltarni Fields is flying and maps to get every chance back to Doomben. He’s built a rock-solid profile this prep, repeatedly rating well around this grade, and the 1200–1350m zone is his wheelhouse. From barrier seven he can land midfield with cover, blend into the three-wide train on the bend and let class take over late. The stable’s in form, he carries the topweight with a useful claim, and his recent figures stack up against anything in this field. If the track walks soft, that’s a bonus and Taltarni Fields should be sending favourite punters home a winner.
Next Best
Race 9 – #1 Taltarni Fields (7)
5yo Gelding | T: Kelly Schweida | J: Corey Sutherland (a3) (60kg)
Best Value at Doomben: Kaizad
Kaizad is the map horse at each-way odds with horse racing bookmakers in a deep Open 1200m. He tumbles to 52kg, draws the paint, and strips fitter after a pleasing return behind smart types. His best Victorian ratings are competitive here, and Jack Bruce has him ticking over with a recent Sunshine Coast run and trial. From barrier one, expect Taylor Marshall to punch up, hold leaders’ back and look for the split turning. With the drop in weight and an economical run, Kaizad only needs clear air to give this a massive shake at a double-figure quote.
Best Value
Race 7 – #10 Kaizad (1)
5yo Gelding | T: Jack Bruce | J: Taylor Marshall (52kg)
