Doncaster Race 5

275Mtrs (D2)

Prize Money: $490

SHACKELTON ACE (4) is better than last start when fourth (17.20) in a D2 at this track over 275m. Can discover winning form. BALLYMAC BRETT (1) recorded a win over 275m at this track in a flying 17.13 last start. Should be in this for a long way. TASTY CHOICE (3) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his outstanding win the start prior, getting around this track over 275m in 16.97. Has the ability and looks a key chance. ANCHOR BANKEN (6) proved herself from this box last start so warrants respect.
