Doncaster Race 9

450Mtrs (B4)

Stake: $702

BALLINABOLA MINI (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start. VALE BLONDE (2) is racing very well, claiming a B6 two back then scored a 5 length win of a B5 at Doncaster over 450m (28.64) last time. Up another notch but can extend winning streak. GENEVA SATURN (5) is having her first look at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 6 lengths (29.09) at Doncaster. One of the main contenders. ABIGAILS POPPY (6) looks well placed here following a B3 win two back before finishing in the minors at her latest appearance in a B3 at Doncaster over 450m (28.98). This easier and can find winning form again.

Latest effort finished 4th over 450m at Doncaster beaten 6 lengths (29.09) behind Ballinulty Sue in a B4 on January 12. More than capable and has to be included.
