After racing on the same track on Saturday, the action returns to Doomben Racecourse this Wednesday for an eight-race card. The track was rated as a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, but with little to no rain on the forecast, the surface should improve into the Good range by raceday. The rail will be pushed out to the +5m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race set to jump at 12:13pm AEST.
Best Bet at Doomben: Hold On Honey
Hold On Honey will return from a nine-week spell with the benefit of a 1000m barrier trial at Doomben on May 7. The Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted-trained gelding hasn’t finished outside the top two in five first-up starts (5:2–3-0), so the form is on his side. With the benefit of Emily Lang’s 3kg claim and barrier three, the son of Counterattack can push forward and find the front before kicking clear in the home straight.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#4 Hold On Honey (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted | J: Emily Lang (a3) (56.5kg)

Next Best at Doomben: Metalart
After missing the jump at Eagle Farm last start, Metalart from the Kelly Schweida stable just held on over the 1200m trip to keep his unbeaten record intact. Dropping back in trip to 1110m will be ideal for this speedy galloper, and if Michael Rodd can get him to jump better from barrier three, Metalart can make it four from four to start his career.

Race 7 – 
#6 Metalart (3)

Best Value at Doomben: Barbaric Lad
Barbaric Lad was far from disgraced in Group 3 company first-up, finishing 1.7 lengths back to run fifth in the Ken Russell Memorial Classic at the Sunshine Coast on a Heavy track. Dropping back to Class 1 and rising in trip to 1350m will benefit this son of Janast second-up. Luke Currie will retain the ride, and from barrier one, Barbaric Lad will receive the run of the race and get every chance to return to the winners’ circle.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#6 Barbaric Lad (1)
2yo Colt | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Luke Currie (58.5kg)
