Doomben preview and tips: $19 value play
A return to Doomben for the first time in six weeks and with rain forecast the track may be a factor.
With Ryan Maloney out of play I am expecting the usual suspects in Tony Gollan, Jim Orman and Ben Thompson to deliver a fruitful day.
With the rail true those that like give in the ground and can travel near the speed will be advantaged.

A 3kg claim for Jake Molloy helps ZOUKINA (2) which has a good record here and won't mind it if the track gets on the soft side. She gives them a start but knows how to win and can hit the line.
AIN'T SHE LOVELY (3) is taking on Saturday grade but has won three and only missed a place twice since a change of stables eleven starts back. This trip is her limit but a good gate helps and she will be prominent for a long way.
WINTER RAIN (8) hasn't won for a long time but has been improved by two outings and was beaten less than a length last start at Ipswich. Five of her six wins have been around this trip and Jaden Lloyd will have her running on.
Verdict: ARGYLE PINK (5) the one to beat.

Consistency is with BLACKCOMB (3) which has only missed a place once in eight starts this preparation. He has found this trip too far in the past and rises 2.5kg from his last outing. From the wide gate Andrew Mallyon will go back and try to round them up late.
APPLICATIONS (6) loves this trip and if the rain comes will be in his element. With Boris Thornton riding for father Glenn he can go forward, set the tempo and be hard to pass.
SATAY CHICKEN (12) went forward from a wide gate and gave Cejay Graham a hard time last week but drops 5kg and may appreciate the rise in trip. He is another on the quick back-up but if more tractable can get in the finish.
Verdict- TAPILDOODLEDOO (1) is worth a speculate.

Matt Dale has brought SERIAL OFFENDER (9) up from Goulburn for her debut. A Magic Millions filly her trial was quiet but she is bred for speed and here for a reason.
Blinkers will help HEAD HONCHO (2) which has shown promise at his two outings despite racing greenly and will hit the line.
Verdict: Expecting the Mishanis to quinella.

POETIC DRAMA (9) is a mare in form and got too far back from a wide gate in similar company last start. She is drawn ideally here and with Cejay Graham's 2kg will get all the favours.
The other Gollan runner BLAKMAX (1) got a gun ride from Ryan Maloney to win one of these over 1300m last start. He steps up in trip and rises 1.5kg but Jim Orman makes his own luck.
PICKO ROCKS (7) brings NSW form and races as though this trip will suit. With Ben Thompson he will get every chance.
Verdict: RISING PACIFIC (4) keeps improving.

HELLUVA BARTY (6) is resuming after an aborted Winter campaign. His recent trial was sound, he likes this track and has a good first-up record. Back to his best he will be hard to hold out.
EMPEROR (4) is a well-bred type that showed early promise and gelding may be the making of him. He won a recent trial and while Sydney Highways may be his destination a big first-up performance would not surprise.
The lightly-raced entire THANKFUL HEART (17) has had his issues but burnt them off at Ipswich and has the speed to worry these,
Verdict: Fitness and form is with DEVASTATING (1).

LUBRICATION (14) showed early promise and returns as a gelding. He has only won one race but has placed at Listed level and will get every chance with Jim Orman from gate one,
ARTS OBJECT (10) looked good winning a recent trial at Beaudesert. She may need longer but has speed and Andrew Mallyon will have her close enough in running.
HUSSON'S REVENGE (3) has been racing well in midweek company and was only collared late at Ipswich. This is harder but he has speed and will be prominent.
Verdict: Not a race to inspire but having something on LARRIKIN ROGUE (4).

ABOUNDING (3) has only won one race but placed at Group and Listed level three times last preparation. She won a recent trial, has not finished worse than fourth in her ten-start career and will get every chance with Martin Harley.
TRIFLING (1) is a talented filly and was far from disgraced at Group level last preparation. She was dominant in a recent trial on the Gold Coast polytrack and Ben Thompson will have her hitting the line.
TRY EVERYTHING (9) is out of a fast mare and was convincing in winning her Maiden at Ipswich. Tony Gollan has brought her straight to town and with only 52.5kg can threaten.
Verdict: ADDRIEL (7) has the fitness edge.

NATIONAL CHOICE (1) will be improved by his first-up outing in this class. He rises 3kg but was a consistent performer last preparation running Antino close on one occasion and won his only previous start here over this trip.
RELEASE THE BEANS (2) gave a start and was well beaten by PREACH (3) last outing in similar grade. He meets him 2.5kg better but over a shorter trip on a tighter track that may not be enough.
OUR MAGNUS (5) finds it hard to win but placed at his only previous start here and consistency keeps him under notice.
Verdict: Up in weight but PREACH (3) can win again.

ALWAYS ON SHOW (13) has won both previous outings at this track and distance. She peaks third-up and while this is harder than a midweek draws to do no work. With Andrew Mallyon she will be close enough if good enough.
AUUA ALTA (15) is maintaining form and getting on to a softer track is in his favour. From a good gate with only 52.5kg Mark Du Plessis will have him in the firing line throughout.
Any rain will help SECRET TALES (14) which got too far back at Eagle Farm and never threatened. Fitter for two outings she has placed at both previous starts her over this trip and with conditions to suit can threaten.
Verdict: EAGLES CRAG (11) placed to win.

MILLANE (8) is resuming and has benefited from a recent trial. A $1.15 million yearling he is still an entire and has only won once but at his last outing was runner-up at Listed level over this trip at Eagle Farm. His recent trial was sound and if his mind is on the job can account for these.
COMPASSIONATE (14) has done well since joining Barry Lockwood and showed she was up to Saturday grade last start. This trip may test but with Robbie Dolan and a good gate she will be prominent for a long way.
BEAUX RUMBLE (5) loves an uninterrupted lead and was too good when resuming at the midweeks over this trip. This is harder but Casey Waddell stays on and he can give a sight.
Verdict: OUTLAWED (13) hard to hold out.
