Doncaster Race 9

275Mtrs (D3)

Prize Money: $489

LINKS BATMAN (4) missed the frame latest when fifth at Doncaster (18.11) but scored three back at Doncaster (17.44). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. KNOCKDUFF MARKLE (3) is a consistent type who is having her first look at course. Lines up here in winning form after scoring by 5.5 lengths from trap three at Doncaster (17.74). Should feature again. MAKEIT MONARCH (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (18.31) at Doncaster last time. Should play a prominent role. HARLEM SHUFFLE (2) was in the money last start from this box - poses a threat again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 275m in a D3 at Doncaster. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Winner two starts back at Doncaster over 275m in 17.59. Last start missed the frame when 5th over 275m at Doncaster in D3. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
