Doncaster Race 8

275Mtrs (D4)

Stake: $565

ABIGAIL SURPRISE (2) steps out for the first time at this course. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 5 lengths (17.97) at Doncaster. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can bounce back. DIRECT LOUIE (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when third in a D4 at Doncaster (17.60) and making it seven straight placings. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BEAUTYS ALIKAT (6) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at Doncaster (17.60), making it three straight minors. Can measure up. BALLYMAC NEPHET (4) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Latest effort finished 4th over 275m at Doncaster beaten 5 lengths (17.97) behind Rhoden Esmae in a D4 on June 22. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 275m in a D4 at Doncaster. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

In the money at Doncaster at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 275m. Won't find this much tougher. Right in the mix.
