Doncaster Bags Race 1

450Mtrs (B2)

Prize Money: $599

SPORTING VENUS (5) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed a B3 by 2.25 lengths at this track over 450m (28.01) last time. Goes up a notch here but strong win latest and can continue the winning form. COSSIES DREAM (3) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 19 from 38 starts. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when second (27.98) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to his name from 13 starts. Hard to beat again. ALNO DUKE (6) could manage only second at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a dominant 27.99 over 450m at this track three starts ago. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. ARE YOU SURE (2) comes back from a let-up as a top three prospect.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in an A1 on August 30 over 483m at this track behind Agile Milly beaten 9 lengths (30.47). The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last over 450m at this track beaten 9 lengths (29.30) behind Vinegarhill Kurn in a B2 on September 28. Can't make much of a case this time.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 450m in a B2 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.
