The $1 million Group 1 Doomben Cup headlines a strong nine-race card this Saturday.

Group 1 racing continues at Doomben this weekend with the running of the time-honoured $1 million Doomben Cup and a bunch of Group 2, Group 3 and Listed races propping up the nine-race program.

Our best play of the day comes up in the $160,000 Listed Chief De Beers where Godolphin galloper Spacewalk is looking to get back into the winners' stall after some handy recent performances. 

This son of Exosphere has been right there in all three Listed efforts this campaign and strikes a very winnable contest on Saturday.

Gets gun hoop James McDonald back on board who has a win and three placings from five steers and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Saves his best form for this distance range and at the current each-way quote he should give a big sight.

Our next best is Vivy Air who finds herself fourth-up into the $200,000 Group 3 Fillies And Mares Mile.

The Ciaron Maher-prepared mare has gotten better with each run this time in including just missing the placings in the Listed The Coast at Gosford at the latest effort.

Will be cherry-ripe now and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from the inside marble. Expecting her to be hitting the line with gusto.

BRISBANE BEST

Race 4 No. 2 Spacewalk

Race 6 No. 9 Vivy Air
