Doncaster Bags Race 5

275Mtrs (D2)

Stake: $572

SHACKELTON ACE (3) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Sandwood Gabby (17.50) in a D2. Winning claims. GAINSTOWN ALF (4) was in the minor money with a sharp 17.33, finishing third in a D2 at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CUSHIE ARNIE (5) drew this same trap last time when a nose winner (17.37) in a D3 over 275m at this track. Must include in calculations. TASTY CHOICE (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by 2 lengths in a D3 last time at this track over 275m (17.45). Tackles tougher grade here but in form and looks a contender again.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2 lengths over 275m at this track in a handy 17.45, beating Ardera Boss. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 275m at this track. Looks all set to find the winners' list.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in a D2 at this track over 275m (17.33). Sure to play a big role.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to score in a D3 by nose at this track over 275m (17.37). Can make it two on the bounce.
