Doncaster Race 7

Virgin Bet Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $8,302

HOBBSON'S DAY (6) finished second making first career appearance attempting a Newton Abbot jumpers flat race during October. First-up for a new trainer following a break and may go one better. ELDERFLOWER TONIC (9) provides initial rules outing debuting for a new yard. Placed third before an impressive 10L victory both in point-to-points. Might double up. DIAMOND STREET (3) is the pick of the yet to race career debutants. Bred by Diamond Bay out of two-time winner Pursecco and racing for a top stable is worth considering. FINAL SURPRISE (5) finished seventh on latest start tackling a Hereford jumpers flat race. Improvement expected.

Having third race start. Was promising at first race start finished third of 9 runners at Fairyhouse P2p on April 27 over 4828m, 17 len behind Princess Day with 57.5kg. Went for a spell before returning won by 10 len Lingstown P2p on November 23 over 4828m slow track defeating Five Shiros with 57.5kg in a jumps. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.
