Doncaster Race 4

483mtrs (Or)

Prize Money: $1,562

HEADFORD ASHER (6) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his convincing win the start prior, getting around Doncaster over 483m in 29.35. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. SOAPY SUDS (3) was out of the placings last time when fifth at Towcester (29.05) but did record best time of the card when winning three back. The form out of her last race has been franked. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BALLYHIMIKIN AKI (2) is a progressive dog who scored his 2nd career win last time at Doncaster, scoring by 2 lengths (29.84). Won at his only start from this box. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. GROUCHOS CHAMP (5) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (30.30) over 450m at Doncaster. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 2 len at Doncaster over 450m (29.84). Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth (29.05) over 500m at Towcester. Won at her only start from this draw.

Turned in a better effort over 483m at Doncaster last start, finishing second behind Speedy Teddy Mac in a OR. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Should be around the mark.

Winner two starts back at Doncaster when scoring by 7 lengths in 29.35. Last start finished last over 483m at Doncaster beaten 2.75 lengths (29.97) behind Bellmore Whiskey in a OR on October 24. Better than that and worth following up.
