Visit Dabble |
Racing in Queensland returns to Doomben on Saturday with a competitive nine-race meeting scheduled. With perfect conditions forecast, the track will likely be a Good 4 come the opening affair, despite it being a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances. The rail comes out 2.5m the entire circuit, with the opening event scheduled to commence at 11:58am AEST.
Best Bet at Doomben: Bunker Hut
Sydney visitor Bunker Hut appeals as one of the better plays of the day in the second leg of the quaddie. He gets the rails draw and a crucial 3kg claim for Jace McMurray, which brings him in light enough to use his tactical speed without burning petrol. His profile screams “third-up improver”, and he’s run well around stronger company than many of these. If the inside is holding, the map is ideal: box seat, track the leader, shoulder out at the corner. With a clean break and even luck in transit, Bunker Hut will prove too classy late.
Best Bet
Race 7 – #4 Bunker Hut (1)
5yo Gelding | T: Michael Freedman | J: Jace McMurray (a3) (59.5kg)
Next Best at Doomben: Sunrays
Sunrays returns in a QTIS 3YO 1200m that sets up perfectly for him. He’s drawn to stalk from gate eight, gets the 1.5kg claim for Emily Lang, and brings metro-grade figures that comfortably top this field. The Kelly Schweida-trained colt is tractable, quick out of the machines, and has already handled give in the ground — exactly what you want at Doomben when the rail’s out a touch. With match fitness from recent work and a map to land in the first four, Sunrays should kick clear late.
Next Best
Race 4 – #1 Sunrays (8)
3yo Colt | T: Kelly Schweida | J: Emily Lang (a1.5) (60kg)
Best Value at Doomben: Four Ace
Lightly raced and still on the up, Four Ace looks beautifully placed in the Class 3 1350m. He resumed with a tidy win and now draws the pole to control his own luck — a big tick at this circuit. Jake Bayliss can hold the fence behind the speed, angle off the leader’s hip at the 600m, and use the gelding’s sustained kick to put a margin on them before the chase begins. He meets a few honest types, but his ceiling looks higher than Class 3 and the map screams “economical run” at a big price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 6 – #3 Four Ace (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Corey & Kylie Geran | J: Jake Bayliss (59.5kg)
