Doncaster Race 8

275Mtrs (D5)

Prize Money: $483

SKIDROW NELL (2) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 2 last time (17.83) at this track. Must come into calculations. CAIRO GIRL (3) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance to score a D5 win (17.90). Bold showing expected again. SKIDROW SUE (5) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 1.3 lengths second behind CAIRO GIRL in 18.00. Has the ability and looks a key chance. RUFFIAN KIMBER (4) was a course and distance placegetter on debut and has definite claims again.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 275m at this track in 17.83. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in a D5 by 1.3 len at this track over 275m (17.90). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Solid debut over 275m at this track when settled midfield but wound up nicely to finish third (18.09) and beaten 2.25 lengths. Further improved and should run well again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 275m at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.

Moderate effort last start when he finished last on January 5 over 275m at this track behind Cairo Girl beaten 9 lengths (18.69) in a D5. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
