WINNO'S WINNERS: DOOMBEN, APRIL 8, 2023

By Darren Winningham | Friday, April 7, 2023

Doomben – nine races with the track rated ‘Soft’. The rail is out 5.5 metres for the entire circuit. Sometimes when the rail is out this far the leaders can have a distinct advantage.

It is EASTER weekend. Hopefully the Easter Bunny will come and visit everyone on Sunday morning – maybe I can fill your wallets to have a splurge on confectionary.

Keeping it brief this week – some of these fields are very small.

NB: As these selections were made prior to race-day, please check for any changes to track conditions and for any scratchings on the day.
