Doomben May 23rd, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Doomben Race 8
1
Half Yours $3.00
Half Yours is ready to fire.
The Melbourne Cup Champion finds a suitable trip, and he strips fitter as a result of recent racing.
The track conditions suit to a tee, and the flood of early money tells a story.
I suspect his best performance here would prove too strong for his rivals, and a date with a Cox Plate looks likely during the upcoming spring.
One classy customer!
Pride Of Jenni is a marvel.
The rising nine-year-old is arguably in career best form, and her victory on the Gold Coast was first-class.
The 2000m suits at this stage of her campaign, and I suspect she has the fitness edge on the majority of her rivals.
She will look the winner as they run for the doctor!

3
Soverato $7.50
Soverato is a Group 1 winner in waiting.
Her performance in the Adrain Knox was a ripper, and she was ok without threatening in the ATC Oaks.
Her residual fitness puts her into winning calculations, and the softer conditions play into her favour.
Too classy to dismiss!
Chispa has upside and potential for days.
Her exposed form is elite, and she deserves her shot at this level on Saturday.
The James McDonald and Chris Waller combination must be respected, and she has been heavily supported in most all-in markets.
Her racing pattern and style always requires an element of good fortune.
Best Roughie - Doomben Race 9
4
Sweynesday $13.00/$4.00
Sweynesday is over the odds.
The classy New Zealand sprinter looks well placed in this company, and his recent performance at Gosford puts him into the winning mix on Saturday.
If the heavens continue to open his quote will shorten significantly, and his international form must be respected.
The carpark draw is his biggest obstacle.
Abounding is racing better than it suggest in the bible.
The Rich Enuff mare is due for a change in luck, and she meets easier opposition.
Her record at this stage of her campaign must be respected, and she is a must for all broader multiples and exotics.
Acid test!
QUADDIE
Q
$72 for 10%
Pinto, Blindedbythelight, and Tomato Toastie, could determine our quaddie fate early.
All look well placed, and I suspect the market will gravitate towards the quality runners.
We have a handful of gallopers flying the flag in a tricky edition of the Roses, while Half Yours, Pride Of Jenni, and Birdman, will battle it out in an exciting edition of the Group 1 Doomben Cup.
It’s a field job in the lucky last!
