Doncaster Bags Race 8

275Mtrs (D2)

Prize Money: $499

KEEFILL APOLLO (2) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and four minors. In the money last time at this track (17.49) in a D2, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. Rates a leading player. SKIRK MIA (5) was a speedy 17.34 winner of a D2 at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MANX SASKIA (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (17.82) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has ability and is one of the better chances. GLITTER ALAN (3) has strong claims after a top-three finish from this box last time out.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last on January 31 over 275m at this track behind Slaneyside Jan beaten 4 lengths (17.82) in a D2. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.

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 17.49. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a long neck into third over 275m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.
