Doncaster Race 12

450mtrs (Or)

Prize Money: $1,440

CRAFTY HOPSCOTCH (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (27.77) in a OR at Sunderland. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Has winning claims on his best figures. ACOMB BLOSSOM (6) started big odds over 275m at Doncaster (17.22) in OR but ran very well to fill a minor placing. Was a winner the start prior in easier at Sheffield. Solid record at the distance winning eight races. Leading chance. TWO TONE BOY (3) was below best last time when fifth at Sheffield but prior to that among the placings in quick time (29.77) at Sheffield. Can turn it around this time. NOTAWORDSAID (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish when at the top of markets last time out.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A1 at Shelbourne Park. Sure to be most competitive again.

Last start finished 4th in a OR on July 3 over 450m at Sunderland behind Slinky Dog Dash beaten 5 lengths (27.77). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
