The black-type action in Brisbane continues this Saturday with the latest Group race of the off-season, Doomben’s Summer Series getting underway with the running of the 2011 George Moore Stakes, and to help punters pick the winner in the sprint showdown the Races.com.au team has the best form guide and betting tips below.

Due to jump at 4:15pm (local time) as Doomben Race 7, the $200,000 Group 3 George Moore Stakes (1200m) is shaping up as a crack clash between some of the state’s best sprinters.

Among the best-fancied gallopers in the Luxbet markets are the likes of Darryl Hansen’s Ascot Handicap winner Essington, the Rob Heathcote-trained Keith Noud Quality runner-up Excellantes, Kelso Wood’s consistent six-year-old Belltone to be ridden by Chris Munce and David Payne’s recent stable acquisition Latin News.

There are also some other longer-priced hopefuls with impressive records at the track and in the wet meaning an upset result may be on the cards.

So where should you’re money be at on Saturday?

Races.com.au’s 2011 George Moore Stakes Tips

Considering the above the Races.com.au team is tipping Excellantes to score their first win for the season after two narrow seconds. They have the consistency, draw (barrier six), weight (53.5kg), 1200 metre record and previous Heavy track win to make them the definite form horse to back at Luxbet.

Havatryst should make a good return from a minor injury and put in a brave run, lots in their favour but on the rails on a Heavy track isn’t advantageous, add them into your Luxbet exotics.
