With the running of the Group 1 Doomben Cup today we take a look at each of the runners in the field in which Foreteller and Lights Of Heaven fight out favouritism in the market. The Doomben Cup is run over 2000m with most of the runners at the top of betting coming through the Hollindale Stakes. View our runner by runner preview, tips and odds for the Doomben Cup 2013.
1. Manighar Preview:
Manighar has yet to fire this preparation with his best run being a fourth in the George Ryder Stakes. He goes into Saturday’s Doomben Cup as a $9 chance after being backed from $11 in opening markets. If he can find his best he is right in this although we are yet to see that this preparation.

2. Danleigh Preview:
Danleigh is as honest as they come although this preparation has been relatively poor for him with six starts for just the two placings. He has opened at long odds for the race but could surprise and run a placing.

3. Ginga Dude Preview:
Ginga Dude is likely to start at long odds and against a quality field like this i don’t see him running in the placings. Currently a $61 chance with most online bookmakers and should start longer than that come race time.

4. Foreteller Preview:
Foreteller has won a Group 1 and a Group 2 this preparation and has been racing in career best form. He is fighting out favouritism with Light’s Of Heaven for the race and should be right in the finish on Saturday and will be hard to beat.

5. Lamasery Preview:
Lamasery’s run in the Hollindale Stakes was very promising with that race being the good form race for the Doomben Cup. Rates very well in the race and is one of the major contenders.

6. Zabeelionaire Preview:
Zabeelionaire had a long break after breaking down in the Melbourne Cup last year and his first up run was really promising. He is likely to want further distance but at long odds he is a horse who has the class to run into the placings.
Trainer: L J Corstens
Jockey: S Baster

7. Lightinthenite Preview:
Lightinthenite ran fifth in the Hollindale Stakes last start which quite a few runners are coming out of. I think his running pattern was better suited at the Gold Coast racecourse thus i doubt he can improve on that run.
Trainer: J A O’Shea
Jockey: N Hall

8. Beaten Up Preview:
Beaten Up is an up and coming quality stayer who will have the most improvement in him. Last start he ran second in the Rowley Mile with that form franked at Scone today with the winner running second in the Scone Cup. One to watch.
Trainer: C J Waller
Jockey: L G Innes

9. Lights Of Heaven Preview:
Lights Of Heaven is likely to start favourite for the Doomben Cup on Saturday after she won the Holindale Stakes last start. She is definitely one of the major players in the race although i don’t think Doomben will suit her as well as some other runners in the race.
Trainer: P G Mood
Jockey: L Nolen

10. Secret Admirer Preview:
Secret Admirer is yet to win in over a year and a half although she is never far away from the winners. She looks well suited in this race and could be one at double figure odds that can win.
Trainer: G M Begg
Jockey: M Rodd
Breeding: Dubawi x Secret Illusion

11. Fibrillation Preview:
Fibrillation ran 2nd in the JRA Plate behind Kelinni last start which was a very good run for her. She was helped by the wet weather so back on top of the ground i doubt she can find herself in the finish.
Trainer: T R Martin
Jockey: S W Arnold

12. Zurella Preview:
Zurella has had three starts this season and has been disappointing in each of them. Has raced over 2000m five times for just the one win. Others look better suited.
Trainer: S F Ritchie
Jockey: J K B Riddell
Breeding: Zabeel x Doneze Girl

13. Pimms Time Preview:
Pimms Time is an unknown runner in the race with her having her first start in Australia. She won a Group 2 last start in New Zealand which is often a good form guide for our longer races and she should be kept safe.
Trainer: E G Lowry
Jockey: D Browne
Breeding: Pins x Brampton Legs

14. Hippopus Preview:
Hippopus is the only three year old in the race and this years three year old crop have been proving they are better than the older horses. He is well weighted and on his last start at Flemington should be a big player in the race.
Trainer: Ms G Waterhouse
Jockey: C Munce
Breeding: High Chaparral x Straight Eight
