The Brisbane Winter Carnival rolls on with the running of the time-honoured Group1 Doomben Cup this Saturday.<\/p>\n
Australian racing hall of fame inductee Chris Waller has strong hand in the race saddling up 6 runners in the 12 horse field including former Japanese galloper Satono Rasen<\/a> ($5.50), Comin\u2019 Throug<\/a>h ($10), One Foot In Heaven<\/a> ($67), Life Less Ordinary<\/a> ($12), Egg Tart<\/a> ($13) and perennial bridesmaid, Tom Melbourne<\/a> ($10). The well-travelled Life Less Ordinary has been the best backed of his lot firming into $9 from an opening quote of $12.<\/p>\n The most well supported runner in the race is Oregon\u2019s Day from the Mick Price year who has firmed $5 into $4 on the back of her strong win in the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes a fortnight ago. She\u2019s drawn well in barrier two and will be hard to run down.<\/p>\n Of the others, early favourite Ambitious<\/a> has been easy in early betting out $4.60 from an opening quote of $4.20 for Anthony Freedman. Not to be discounted, punter\u2019s pal Darren Weir, saddles up Tradesman<\/a> ($13) who is coming off a soft win during the Warrnambool carnival. Not your traditional lead up for the Doomben Cup but you would be a brave punter to count out any Weir runner.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong> Latest Doomben Cup Odds (Odds subject to change)<\/strong>
