Brisbane Racing Club will host a very competitive 10-race card at Doomben Racecourse this Wednesday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with no rain on the forecast in the lead-up, it is expected to improve into the Good range. The rail will be in the +10m position, with racing set to kick off at 11:27am AEST.

Best Bet at Doomben: Italian Riviera

Italian Riviera was an impressive winner on his debut over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast two starts back. After settling outside the leader, the Stuart Kendrick-trained gelding took over with 400m to go and pulled away to bring up a one-length victory. Considering seven of his nine rivals are still maidens, Italian Riviera strikes a very winnable race and should prove hard to beat.

Race 4 – #1 Italian Riviera (5)

Next Best at Doomben: Velozes

Velozes missed the kick by two lengths last time out, and after being held up until the 250m mark, she flashed up the inside rail to finish 1.8 lengths off Skywriter at this track and trip. With James Orman back aboard for his second ride on the filly, it is expected that she will jump better and settle closer to the speed. With even luck and a similar finishing burst to last time, Velozes can break her maiden at the third time of asking.

Best Value at Doomben: Lady Chartwell

Lady Chartwell had no luck when running third over the Doomben 1100m first-up. The David McColm-trained mare settled behind the speed and appeared to have a lot to offer in the home straight but was held up until the final 150m. With the aid of Taylor Johnstone’s 3kg claim and a wide draw in barrier nine, Lady Chartwell will be able to push forward and settle outside of runners before finishing off strongly down the outside.
