Doomben Tips November 30

Drinkwise Open Handicap Tips (Race 2)

Doomben Best Bet - Race 2 No. 2 Kerchak

The New Zealand-bred ended his last prep in good form registering three consecutive victories including twice on the polytrack at Gold Coast.

The selection returned to winning ways at the fourth attempt this time around when saluting by nearly three lengths in an 1805m contest at Eagle Farm on his penultimate start.

The six-year-old contested a Benchmark 78 handicap held on a sound surface that day and he went on to complete a double at Sunshine Coast two weeks ago.

That Sunshine Coast triumph saw the gelding drop back to 1600m and also marked the pick’s first success on a heavy surface.

The son of Tarzino defied a wide barrier when partnered by Cody Collis on that occasion and Collis is again scheduled to ride with the pair again allocated a double figure barrier.

Ben Ahrens’ representative shapes as if the step up in distance he gets here will suit and with the soft 6 track no issue he is selected to continue his winning run.

Widden Stud Mode Stakes (Listed) Tips (Race 7)

Doomben Value Bet - Race 7 No. 8 Bollinger Miss

Chris & Corey Munce can boast an impressive 26% strike-rate (10/39) and a healthy level stakes profit at this venue in the last twelve months.

They are triple handed here with the pick having broke through for her first win when successful over 1110m at this venue in September on her second career start.

The daughter of Zousain was returning from a spell that day having debuted with a highly promising fourth at Eagle Farm in May.

The filly has gone on to place second on both starts since breaking her maiden including over this course and distance early last month.

The selection went on to lose out to a subsequent winner when racing prominently stepped up to 1400m at Eagle Farm subsequently.

All three of the pick’s efforts this prep have come on a sound surface, however she proved she handled wet tracks on debut and looks value to salute racing from barrier five.

Ladbrokes George Moore Stakes (Group 3) Tips (Race 8)

Doomben Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 1 Rothfire

The seven-year-old showed good form last season including when finishing half-a-length second in this contest.

The pick raced on a soft 6 track that day and was freshened prior to saluting when odds-on favourite for a 1200m contest held on a good 3 surface at Toowoomba next time.

The gelding went on to finish fourth when contesting the 1300m Magic Millions Open at Gold Coast just under two weeks later.

Both of those efforts came on a sound surface with the selection arriving here on the back of a good second when contesting a barrier trial on a soft 7 surface here earlier this month.

The selection’s final two starts last season came from wide barriers and he boasts a better barrier next to the rail, as was the case when placed in this last year.

Robert Heathcote’s representative boasts a 50% strike-rate (5/10) when racing first up and he looks capable of returning to action with a win.

Magic Millions Pierata Plate Tips (Race 9)

Doomben Next Best Bet - Race 9 No. 4 Give Me Space

Barry Lockwood’s representative showed he handles wet surfaces when delivering a good fourth over 1200m on a soft 6 track here on his sole start at two.

The selection was spelled following that effort in March trialling well at Deagon ahead of his return to action at Eagle Farm last month.

The gelding justified favouritism when coming home nearly five lengths clear of his nearest pursuer when contesting a 1200m maiden on that occasion.

The pick jumped at short odds on that occasion with the gelding going on to complete a double when successful over this course and distance subsequently.

The son of Cosmic Force was ridden from the rear of mid-division last time out with both of his efforts this prep coming on a good 4 track.

James Orman is a positive jockey booking here with the rider taken to improve on his near 26% strike-rate (24/93) when riding for the Barry Lockwood stable.
