Doomben Track Report – 12/05/2018

Rail: True Entire Course
Penetrometer: 5.51
Weather: Fine
Track Type: Turf
Track Rating: Soft (6)
Irrigation: Nil
Rainfall: Nil last 24hrs; 23mm last 7 days

It is a sunny day in Brisbane and with no chance of rain across the afternoon the current Soft (6) Doomben track rating could be upgraded, but there will still be a nice bit of sting out of the ground for those horses that prefer it.

Brisbane racing kicks off at 11:25am (AEST) and the nine race card continues through until the 2018 Queensland Derby hopes face off in the Group 3 $125,000 Rough Habit Plate (2000m) at 4:30pm (AEST).

The big one is of course the weight-for-age Group 1 $700,000 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) where the field is down to 13 after Friday’s scratching of Lucky Hussler (1).

Betting on Doomben Race 8 this afternoon through Ladbrokes.com.au is firmly led by the defending Doomben 10,000 champion Redzel ($2.45) looking to bounce back after a lead-up second to Trapeze Artist in Sydney’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) last month.

There are two Group 2 support acts on the card starting with Race 5 – the 2018 Champagne Classic for two-year-olds featuring all 11 original acceptors, and Race 7 – the 2018 The Roses for 16 Queensland Oaks bound fillies.
