Doncaster Race 4

450Mtrs (Or3)

Prize Money: $1,098

GOTHIC JOSHUA (6) is having his first look at this circuit. Filled the frame latest when second (30.09) at Doncaster off this draw. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. SLIPPY KEITH (1) ran a good time (28.98) when placing three back at Sheffield but has missed the frame since, last time out finishing fourth (29.19) at Sheffield. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. SWIFT BACHELOR (5) is in top form, scoring by 0.8 lengths (28.21) over 462m at Great Yarmouth and making it back to back wins. In form and can go on with it. NO COVERAGE (2) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Last start finished 4th in a IV on March 1 over 500m at Sheffield behind Dunbolg Formula beaten 4 lengths (29.19). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Going well this campaign in two runs. In the money first up at Nottingham then finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, in a OR3 at Nottingham last start over 305m (17.98). In good form but this is tougher.
