GOING: G

DONCASTER CUP 1400m

Track: FIRM     True  

Strong early tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Full Metal Body and Richard Barows. RICHARD BAROWS (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Chukyo over 1400m after being in the firing line all the way. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MOZU ANTARES (7) could only manage 12th when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in contention on the bend. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. SIMPLY AWESOME (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Chukyo, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TERA STELLAR (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
