Plenty of questions will be answered after the running of the $500,000 Group 1 Doomben Cup tomorrow.
Pre-post favourite Racing To Win looks a huge distance risk on paper but there's plenty of early money to suggest class can carry him through. The same applies for 2008 Doncaster winner Triple Honour, although he did get to the line nicely over this journey last start.
Douro Valley could easily bounce back to his best form if he can take up a forward position early. Throw in up-and-coming youngsters Miss Darcey and Izonit - along with impressive last start NZ winner Veloce Bella (our best roughie) - and you've got one hell of a race!

Tomorrow's charity bet
Each week the Smartbet Club places a free $50 bet for charity on its best bet of the day around Australia. We're now punting for a new cause, details of which will appear in the Friday Alert shortly.
Orca got too far back last week - our charity bank balance remains $250.00. Trim (Brisbane Race 2) is our best bet of the day tomorrow.
