Doncaster Race 8

450Mtrs (B2)

Prize Money: $599

SKIRK AXEL (3) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (28.41) in a B2 at Doncaster last time out. Key player on best and worth another chance. MILLHOUSE CRAIG (4) is racing very well, claiming a B3 two back then scored a 2.75 lengths win of a B3 at Doncaster over 450m (28.04) last time. Facing tougher grade but in form and not to be underestimated. FAGANS PETUNIA (2) won by 2 lengths last start at Doncaster 450m in a solid 28.18. Top win latest and can measure up again. BALLYMAC ALEXIS (6) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3 lengths (29.05) at Doncaster. Expected to run well.

Winner two starts back at Doncaster when scoring by a nose in 28.15. Last start finished 4th on April 22 over 450m at Doncaster behind Rapido Treat beaten 3 lengths (29.05) in a B2. Well worth another chance.
