Racing will return to Doomben Racecourse this Saturday afternoon, when the Brisbane Racing Club hosts a competitive nine-race card. Although there is rain forecast on Friday and Saturday, the track is expected to improve slightly from the Soft 5 rating at acceptance time to a Good surface by raceday. The rail will be in the +3m position for the entire circuit, with the first race set to jump at 11:53am AEST.
Best Bet at Doomben: Demon Darb
Following a dominant win at this track and trip on April 1, Robert Heathcote will bring Demon Darb back to the scene of the crime this Saturday. The son of Pierro was way too good for his rivals in BM70 grade when he bolted away with a 3.7-length victory on a Soft track. If Bailey Wheeler can find a back to follow around the home turn, Demon Darb can repeat the dose.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#8 Demon Darb (6)
5yo Gelding | T: Robert Heathcote | J: Bailey Wheeler (54.5kg)
Next Best at Doomben: Aiden
Aiden has been finishing his races off nicely in his last two starts over 2162m and 2000m, recording a second- and third-place finish. The Tony Georgieff-trained gelding enjoyed a hot tempo in his most recent run and picked his way through the field to flash home into the placings. Bailey Wheeler has retained the ride, and if he can settle closer to the speed from barrier two, Aiden can break his run of outs.

Race 2 – 
#9 Aiden (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Tony Georgieff | J: Bailey Wheeler (55kg)
Best Value at Doomben: Devastating
Tony Gollan and Ryan Maloney would have been very happy with Devastating’s first-up run on March 26, when the six-year-old gelding finished third over 1000m at Eagle Farm. This son of Exceed And Excel settled at the back of the field and swung out wide to run on strongly, only finishing 1.5 lengths off the winner. Drawing barrier 14 is offset by his get-back-and-run-on racing style, and if he lets down like he did previously, Devastating can cause a boilover at massive odds with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#2 Devastating (14)
6yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: Ryan Maloney (60kg)
