THE STAR DONCASTER MILE 1600m Track: Soft 5 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: True. (Pent: 5.43) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong early tempo with Rise At Dawn and Gringotts leading the way. LINEBACKER (20) third up raced closer to the speed when gripping on strongly to hold off Broadsiding and take out the G1 Randwick Guineas over this track and trip in fast time. Can slide across from the draw on the limit and take plenty of holding out. GRINGOTTS (2) comes out of the superior form race leading into this after stalking the good speed to score in a tight three-way finish in the G1 George Ryder Stakes over 1500m at Rosehill. Maps well and has further upside to come. Top three player. TOM KITTEN (3) arrives here in peak condition fourth up and gets an economical run from the draw. Had excuses from the gate when running on late to finish fifth in the G1 George Ryder. Drops in weight and gets his chance. FIRESTORM (19) underrated mare who gave away a big start before circling the field for a tenacious second in the G1 Coolmore over 1500m at Rosehill. Capable of going one better. STEFI MAGNETICA (8) strips fitter and much better effort when sixth in the Ryder. Value chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Linebacker and Gringotts to slog it out.
