Doncaster Race 5

450mtrs (B3)

Prize Money: $610

DARK EDDIE (5) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors six on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (28.44) at this track over 450m. Key chance in this line up. KNOCKDRUM CRYPTO (3) recorded a one length win in a B3 last time 28.10 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Leading player again. COCKNEY KING KEV (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his swift 28.06 win at this track over 450m. Has the ability and looks a key chance. ZARI SAM (2) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, in a B2 at this track over 450m (28.64). Easier here and no surprise to see him back in form.

Placed three back but has won two runs since, the latest a B3 in 28.37 over 450m at this track. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 450m in a B3 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start in a B3 at this track over 450m (28.44). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.

Burnt early with a scorching sectional but had to settle for third over 450m at this track, clocking 29.29. Rates highly on best form. Must include.
