Doncaster Bags Race 4

275mtrs (D1)

Prize Money: $498

CUSHIE MICK (5) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless D2 winner (16.71) at this track, scoring by 6 lengths. Look for sharp improvement here. GOTACRUSHONYOU (6) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from four starts. Was out of the placings last time (17.47) at this track in a OR, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. TIME BANDIT (4) was a hot course and distance winner last time, claiming a D2 in a flying 17.04 and a new PB here. In form and looks a leading player again. GROUCHOS MAVERIK (3) hit the frame with a close-up third two runs back then claimed a D2 by 1.75 lengths at this track over 275m (16.97) last time. Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 275m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a D2 by 1.75 len at this track over 275m (16.97). Ran the fastest time on the program in the latest win. Worth following up.

Below her best last time over 275m at this track (17.47) in a OR, finishing 4.5 lengths away in fifth. Good strike-rate here at this journey with two wins from four starts. Makes strong appeal.
