In what has been a historic time for the Nation, the passing of Her Majesty the Queen and the ascension of King Charles III brought racing to a standstill Friday evening and all day Saturday. Her Majesty loved racing however, you only need to rewatch that Enable win in the Royal Ascot, Gold Cup to see her light up. Doncaster goes ahead today with a 9 race, meeting. Let’s hunt for winners today.
13:00 – Two selections in this race, Fools Rush In and Able Kane, the former, for Hugo Palmer with apprentice, Harry Davies on board and taking off 3lbs, carrying less weight than when successful at Chester on good to soft, back down in trip today and if able to emulate the run it Haydock in July, it could be a bigish price success for us.
Able Kane is another well weighted runner, the booking of Buick is significant and he will likely ensure the horse is prominent from the off allowing the horse to open up early and be tough for passing.
Fools Rush In 12/1 1pt ew
Able Kane 6/1 1pt ew
13:35 – Malrescia stands out, Buick again on board, on the figures comparative to the market rivals, a front running type who will want to lead. This horse should not be 14/1 and was tuned up at Kempton last week for today.
Malrescia 14/1 1pt ew
14:10 – Dakota Gold has tasted success at Doncaster and of course is one of York’s greatest runners, carrying top weight at age 8 would not normally be for everyone but the horse has proven it time and time again, drawn alongside Ghatanfar they will both seek to get out and set ferocious fractions.
Dakota Gold 9/1 1pt ew
15:55 – St Leger
Eldar Eldarov for Roger Varian, should be a match for New London throughout the race (who is a worthy favourite), successful every time thus far when presented to race, he is a fantastic alternative at the prices to the fav.
Eldar Eldarov 7/1 1.5pt ew
16:30 Point Lynas successful at York last time out and is very well weighted today, carrying less than when last seen and a stone less than when scoring at Redcar. The ground is a concern and is factored into the price but the horse may just be on an upward trajectory.
Point Lynas 14/1 1pt ew
