Doncaster Bags Race 1

275Mtrs (D2)

Prize Money: $499

LONG BATTLE (5) is in hot form winning his last two on end, the latest jumping from this same trap to score in a D2 at this track (17.19). Has the ability and looks hard to top. LUMINOUS DREAM (3) shapes well after a sharp run last time, finishing second in a D2 at this track in 17.29. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BALLARUE ROLO (1) shapes well for this on his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 275m in 17.03 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Top win three back and rates a key player again. SPORTING VENUS (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole in a quick run last time.

Form slipped last start when she finished last on February 8 over 450m at this track behind Sandwood Gabby beaten 9 lengths (28.69) in a B2. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Produced a much better performance last start when second over 275m at this track in a D2. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Comes off a (17.19) win last time, scoring by one length in a D2 over 275m at this track. Good strike-rate here at this journey with three wins from four starts. Key player and should go well.
