Doomben March 8th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Doomben Race 5
11
Party Spirit $7.50
Party Spirit looks poised to strike third-up from a spell.
The Winning Rupert filly has the best-exposed form, and she seems ideally placed from an inside draw.
The 1200m looks advantageous, and she is due for a change of luck in running!
On Hargrave was terrific on debut at The Sunshine Coast.
She hit the line nicely, and I expect the Spieth filly to appreciate the extra furlong.
Tribeca Star is an exciting runner.
His Sydney form reads well for this event, and he has trialled well leading into this event.
It may pay dividends to watch the market.
Next Best - Doomben Race 1
2
Ghostwriter $2.15
Ghostwriter is an owner’s dream.
He rarely runs outside the quinella, and he can figure in the finish again on Wednesday.
From barrier six, he will jump, lead, and give a good sight.
The I Am Invincible gelding is rock-hard fit, and he may prove hard to run down.
Office Jim returns to town after a tough and gritty win at Goondiwindi last start.
The Magnus gelding looks well placed in this grade, and I expect him to push forward from a middle gate.
If he can find the lead uncontested, he may be able to pinch a winning break on straightening.
Using too much petrol early is the primary concern.
Flying Joy is a must for all exotics.
She was impressive last start at Eagle Farm, and she can continue on her winning ways with even luck in transit.
Best Roughie - Doomben Race 2
2
Birmingham $26/$5
Birmingham can bounce back here after a disappointing second-up run.
The Puissance De Lune gelding can camp on the leader’s back, and the 1650m looks ideal for this preparation stage.
If the gaps appear on straightening, I expect him to figure in the finish at a reasonable price.
Azure Pride is knocking on the door!
He savaged the line last start at the Sunshine Coast, and his record at Doomben must be respected.
The Sizzling gelding looks dangerous jumping from an inside draw, and the distance seems advantageous.
Blue Ray will be thereabouts despite drawing the carpark.
He is ready to peak after three teasing runs this campaign.
