The stats I researched didn’t do us much good yesterday but undetered I’ll try again….
2.00 Doncaster Lejaam (John Dunlop runner who ideally should be under 10/1 if we were to back it)
2.35 Doncaster Spanish Duke (another John Dunlop runner which is pretty much certain to be under 10/1)
3.10 Doncaster Forjatt (Frankie Dettori’s only mount for an outside yard in a Class 1 or 2 non handicap)
3.45 Doncaster Dyna Waltz (John Gosden 3yo running in a Class 1 race)
4.20 Doncaster Intrusion (Richard Fahey 2yo Filly who ran in the last 21 days)
4.55 Doncaster Queen of Mean (another Gosden 3yo running in a Class 1 race)
Which works out very nicely as we have, potentially, one horse in each of the first 6 races and as I have a horse I really fancy in the 7th we have the whole card covered!
He’s Abraham Lincoln and he’s a sprinter I’ve backed a couple of times this season. He started off his career with Aiden O’Brien and actually ran in the top Group 1 Sprints as a 4yo. Although that was a little out of his league he was rated 107 back then and as he gets to race off just 86 here he does look very well handicapped at present. It’s his lowest ever handicap rating and if he can recapture some of the form he showed at the beginning of the season (2nd at Chester and at Ripon off 87) he’ll be competitive today. On his last run things didn’t pan out too well for him as he was stopped in his tracks twice just as he was making a challenge but he stayed on well and was beaten 4 1/2 lengths in the end.
I reckon 16/1 is a good each way bet.
Good luck,
Gavin.
