Doomben hosts an eight-race program on Saturday, April 11, with a mix of in-form runners and progressive types set to line up across the card.

This preview highlights the key chances across the meeting, while for Saturday’s feature coverage, head to our Group 1 Previews.

Doomben Tips April 11


Sky Racing Benchmark 85 Handicap Tips (Race 2)


Doomben Best Bet - Race 2 No. 3 Ramp It Up

Placed at Group 3 level at Sunshine Coast last season, the colt returned to winning ways at this venue on his penultimate appearance.

The selection overcame a bump shortly after leaving the barriers to deliver a victory in a 1630m Class 5 handicap.

He came home a length clear of his nearest rival that day, with the third home boosting the form by winning at Eagle Farm next time.

The pick then delivered a good effort back here when finishing second, beaten less than half-a-length in a Benchmark 78 handicap.

Ramp It Up steps up in class here, but with Michael Rodd aboard and proven at the track, he looks capable of registering the fourth win of his career.

XXXX Gold QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Doomben Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 3 Zuleika

The daughter of North Pacific has shown good form this prep, winning two of her three starts since a maiden defeat at Wangaratta in January.

She followed that with an impressive Ararat maiden win over 1600m, scoring by four-and-a-half lengths easing down.

Henry Dwyer’s filly then travelled to Tasmania for the Listed Tasmanian Oaks, where she ran a strong second over 2100m.

She dropped in grade to win again in impressive fashion at Mount Gambier, scoring by over five lengths in a 2050m Class 1 plate.

Zuleika is set to handle a wet track, and despite a wide barrier, her early pace should see her well placed.

Ladbrokes Calcutta & Luncheon 12 June QTIS Three-Year-Old Fillies Handicap Tips (Race 5)


Doomben Roughie - Race 5 No. 4 Lonesome Soul

Greg Wright’s filly has shown a liking for wet surfaces, including when resuming on a Soft 6 track at this venue last month.

She raced on speed that day and was beaten just over a length under apprentice Chelsea Baker.

That run came in a Benchmark 68 over this distance before she stepped up to 1625m for the Queensland Country Guineas at Toowoomba.

She finished fifth there after being ridden with restraint in a race dominated by on-speed runners.

Back in trip and reunited with Emily Lang, Lonesome Soul can surprise at odds.

Cricks Highway Benchmark 80 Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Doomben Value Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Flying Destiny

The six-year-old arrives in good form, having performed well in all four starts this preparation.

His worst result came when finishing fourth in a 1200m Benchmark 78 at this track first-up.

He has since recorded three solid efforts at the same level, including a narrow third at Eagle Farm in late February.

That run came after racing on speed from a wide barrier on a wet track.

He then broke through over 1100m last time, and with strong form around that race and trainer Michael Freedman striking at 23% here this season, Flying Destiny appeals as value.
