Doncaster Race 8

275Mtrs (D1)

Prize Money: $500

SHACKELTON ACE (5) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (17.01). Goes well from this trap. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. MUSTANG MILE (6) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (17.11), beaten 1.1 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has a strong record out of this box with 11 wins and eight minor placings from 25 starts. Key runner on best form. FAVOURITE PLACE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 10 wins and 14 minors from 30 tries. Placed last time (17.09) at this track in a D1, finishing third and beaten 0.9 lengths. Among the main chances. ARCHIES GAMBLE (4) profiles nicely over this trip.
