We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Doomben racetrack.
Race 4: No.3 The Irish
The James Healy-trained galloper is third-up here and back over his ‘pet’ distance, looks set to produce his best in this event.
Last start, the Irish-bred gelding was second-up when he finished fifth in a BM78 Hcp over 1600m at Eagle Farm.
Michael Rodd backed-up that day for the ride and settled mid-field to the turn before boxing on in the run home, beaten less than three lengths on the line.
Meeting similar company here, he draws wide in gate 10 where he maps to drop back and take a sit on settling with Rodd in the saddle again.
A track and trip winner already and has had success when third-up as well, the six-year-old has found the podium seven times in 11 starts over the distance and with a trouble-free run here, should be there at the finish again in this contest.
Race 5: No.9 Iced Chocolate
David Vandyke saddles-up Iced Chocolate here who is second-up off a long spell but ticks enough boxes to be considered a good chance at odds in this event.
Last start, the I Am Invincible mare resumed after more than 10 months off the scene and having her first start for the Vandyke stable, wasn’t disgraced when finishing fourth in a Class 1 Hcp over 1000m at the Gold Coast.
Lumping 59kgs on fresh legs, Ryan Maloney had her settled just behind the speed one off the fence before holding her own in the run home and battled on well to finish just behind the placegetters in the end.
From gate seven here, he maps to settle in the first half-dozen with Corey Sutherland as the new pilot.
After the claim he carries 4.5kgs less than last start and has a good record here, finishing runner-up twice in two starts at the track and trip.
Already a winner when second-up, a ticket on both totes looks the way to go in this contest.
Race 6: No.7 Joy A Plenty
The Darryl Hansen-trained galloper is in sensational form this preparation and looks ideally placed to take out this event.
Last start, the Heroic Valour mare made it back-to-back wins when she took care of a Class 5 field over 1100m at Ipswich.
Settling last of the eight runners, Cody Collis rode her a treat remaining patient to the turn before tracking wide then asking her for a final effort, she obliged and stormed home to grab victory, winning by almost a length on the line with plenty to spare.
Drawn well in gate four here, she maps to settle back in the field with cover and coming off a five-week let-up, has Ryan Maloney aboard for the first time.
At the top of her game, a clear run to the line here should see her very hard to hold out in this contest.
