Doomben Horse Racing Tips Mon 5/10/26

Good 4 at Doomben and fine overhead, so there’s no wet-track excuse today and the form should stand up. Only two we’re keen on from the eight races. Our best bet is in Race 7, a 10-horse field with no natural leader, so the tempo is a tricky read and that’s where we think the edge is. In the last, I’m happy to take $6.50 on Sort Cha Mess. There’s hot speed in that race, which is the risk for him if he goes forward, but I’ll wear that at the price.

9. Sort Cha Mess $6.50

Barrier 7 · Leader · Hot pace

I’m happy to take $6.50 on #9 Sort Cha Mess. He won last start after four straight placings, and #6 No Fooling is $3.80 coming off a fourth first up. There’s hot speed in this, which is the risk for one who goes forward. I’ll wear that at the price.
