Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 11 Journalists Share Posted April 11 What Doomben Races Where Doomben Racecourse – 75 Hampden St, Ascot QLD 4007 When Saturday, April 13, 2024 First Race 11:53am AEST Visit Dabble Racing will return to Doomben this Saturday afternoon as the Brisbane Racing Club hosts a competitive nine-race program. The track was rated as a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances; however, with no rain on the forecast for Friday and Saturday, it is expected that the surface will improve into the Good range by the start of the meeting. The rail will be pushed out to the +3.5m position, with racing set to kick off at 11:53am AEST. Best Bet at Doomben: Chinny Boom Chinny Boom will seek back-to-back wins after claiming victory at the Gold Coast over 1100m last start, where the Clinton Taylor-trained mare proved too classy for her rivals on March 9. This four-year-old mare hasn’t finished outside the placings in four starts this time, and if she can push forward and hold a position from barrier seven on Saturday, she appears very hard to beat again. Cejay Graham will look to cross the field to find the front, and if Chinny Boom does get an uncontested lead, she should prove very hard to run down. Best Bet Race 4 – #3 Chinny Boom (7) 4yo Mare | T: Clinton Taylor | J: Cejay Graham (58kg) +100 with PlayUp Next Best at Doomben: Ranch Hand Although Ranch Hand is coming up on 12 months since his last win, the Tony Gollan-trained galloper has been banging the door down this preparation with back-to-back placings from two starts over 1200m. This son of Fastnet Rock flew home from the back of the field to run Ned’s Gully to within half a length previously, and now that he steps up in distance to 1400m third-up, it appears to be the recipe for success. From the ace draw, Ryan Maloney can settle midfield on the fence, and with even luck, Ranch Hand should prove too strong late. Next Best Race 8 – #6 Ranch Hand (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: Ryan Maloney (55.5kg) +320 with Neds Best Value at Doomben: Argyle Pink Tony Gollan and Angela Jones will combine with Argyle Pink as the five-year-old mare seeks to keep her undefeated record intact for this preparation after claiming a narrow first-up win. Jones gave this daughter of Star Witness an inch-perfect front-running ride to defeat Amathuba by a nose over 1200m fresh, and with that win under her belt, she will go into this contest full of confidence. From barrier four, Jones should be able to find the front of the field, and if Argyle Pink can show the same turn of foot late, she will give her rivals something to chase. Best Value Race 9 – #12 Argyle Pink (4) 5yo Mare | T: Tony Gollan | J: Angela Jones (58kg) +900 with Picklebet Saturday quaddie tips for Doomben races Doomben quadrella selections Saturday, April 13, 2024 1-6-7-9-12 1-3-4-10 1-6-10 3-6-11-12 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
