Doncaster Race 1

483Mtrs (A4)

Prize Money: $577

CRISPY BACON (4) Looked outclassed when 5th last time around here. Expecting improvement. Will be positive in the run early. Very competitive this preparation. One of the hopes. SPARTA KNIGHT (3) Kept chasing when 2nd last run at this track in 30.5s and form has been improving over recent runs. Likely to be well placed early. Respect in this event. BALLYMAC ALEXIS (5) Tailed off to finish 4th last run at the track. Likely to bounce back. In strong racing shape since resuming from a spell. Shows good finishing speed. Goes very close. VALE BLONDE (1) Finished 3rd last start at this track. Has shown early pace in races to date. Could run into the placings.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Doncaster then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at Doncaster over 483m (30.50). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.

Last start finished last over 483m at Doncaster beaten 5 lengths (30.85) behind Ellies Flash in an A4 on June 24. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th on June 21 over 483m at Doncaster behind Ballymac Mel beaten 8 lengths (30.67) in an A4. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
