Doncaster Race 8

483Mtrs (A4)

Stake: $623

BALLYMAC MEL (5) had trap 5 last start and ran well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, (30.13) at Doncaster. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. ROSSA DORA (3) is having her first start around this course. Comes here a winner at Doncaster last time in an A4 (30.44). Sure to be thereabouts. BALLYMAC ALEXIS (6) ran good time (30.20) when third last start over 483m at Doncaster, the second placing in a row. Well placed here and should do much better. POLLY SNOW (1) is new here but is worth considering.

Last start finished last over 483m at Doncaster beaten 8 lengths (30.63) behind Micro Kit in an A4 on June 17. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in an A4 by 1.75 len at Doncaster over 483m (30.44). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 483m at Doncaster. May find this a bit too tough.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 483m at Doncaster. Looks all set to find the winners' list.

Followed a minor placing at Doncaster two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, last start in an A4 at Doncaster over 483m (30.20). Key runner based on recent form.
