Saturday racing tips for Doomben


Best Bet
Race 3 – Roman Aureus @ $2.25 Bet365

Roman Aureus is the gift that keeps on giving, with three wins from his last six starts. He was backed off the map last time out at a midweek Doomben meeting and duly saluted for punters, winning by 2.3 lengths over Rebel Salute with 57.5kg on his back. He lines up on Saturday with just 54kg and is drawn beautifully in barrier four to get a lovely run behind what will be a genuine tempo. Larry Cassidy has ridden the Red Element gelding in five starts for three wins and two minor placings, so he will be looking to keep that record strong with another win here.


Next Best
Race 9 – Maddi Rocks @ $2.40 Bet365

Chris Waller saddles up last-start Ipswich winner Maddi Rocks in a race that is very winnable for the Fastnet Rock mare. She was one of the wins of the day at her last outing, with Ryan Maloney picking all of the right runs along the inside before pulling away the last little bit to win by just under a length over Voila. That horse then franked the form by winning well at the Sunshine Coast on Wednesday. While this race is much tougher, there looks to be plenty of speed engaged. That will suit Maddi Rocks down to the ground as she looks to get over the top of them in the straight. She will need some luck from barrier two, but she will take a power of beating with just 56kg on her back.


Best Value
Race 5 – Bargannon @ $8.50 Bet365

Bargannon was sent around as a well-tried commodity last start in the Rockhampton Cup, where he was checked at a crucial stage but finished less than a length back from the winner in fourth place. He should strip much fitter third up from a spell, and staying at the 1600m trip will suit. Justin Huxtable hops aboard and will claim 2kg to get him down to just 60kg, which sees Bargannon well in this. He shouldn’t be too far away from them as they turn for home and will make his presence felt. The $8.50 available makes him a solid play.
