Chris Nelson’s Doomben Best Bets

RACE 2 No.2 Greek Hero

He’s not a horse I’ve ever tipped in the past however that all changes tomorrow as he looks extremely well-placed dropping back in grade and rising in distance. He’s on the 7 day back up having run at Eagle Farm last Saturday charging home from the rear of the field over the 1815m trip, out to 2000m on Saturday will suit him perfectly. Yes, he’s up in weight however is a horse who can handle the big imposts.


RACE 3 No.3 West Of Africa

The Annabel Neasham stable is flying up here in Queensland at the moment and here’s another who should go very close to landing the money on Saturday. A first up winner in Sydney he really hit the line here behind Soothsayer last start and they lock horns again here however the step up to the mile works best in West Of Africa’s favour. I’m expecting a cold ride early before jockey Brodie Loy cuts him loose in the straight.


RACE 5 No.4 Worx

Opened up at big odds and has been very heavily backed. Still value at near enough to double-figure odds off the debut fifth at Eagle Farm when ‘flying under the radar’. His sectionals home that day were right up with the winner Godfather’s yet he never really got a chance to stretch out being held up for room. Well worth a ticket each-way.
