Doncaster Race 5 - M&D Foundations Piling Specialists Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
ALBA GU BRATH (5) Back from a break. Led throughout when winning by 2 3/4L last start at Newcastle and going up in trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. AL AZD (1) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/2L last run at Southwell but has to cope with a weight increase. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Can get the job done. DIRECTOR'S CUT (4) Ran 5th last run at Nottingham. Should bounce back and competing at a lower class. Drawn well. One of the hopes. SAILOR SONG (2) Placed 2nd last time at Southwell and solid career start. Has very good closing speed. Very competitive this campaign but going up in weight. Solid place bet prospects.

Solid win by 1 1/2L last run at Southwell but has more weight to carry. Has run into the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Expecting a strong showing.

Placed 2nd last time at Southwell and showing consistent performance in races. Will be motoring home late. Showing great form this campaign but rising in weight. Watch the market moves.

Resuming after a 28 week spell. Jumped at $3.75 and folded up in the straight when 5th last time at Pontefract. Can't entertain a bet.

Started at $7.50 and came in 5th last run at Nottingham. Should bounce back and stepping down to a lower level. Has minimal work to do from the stall. Not out of this.

Resumes from a spell. Made all when winning by 2 3/4L last start at Newcastle and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Likely to be well placed early. Definite claims for punters.

Fresh today after a break of 28 weeks. Good performance to run into 3rd last run at Nottingham. Likely to get back in the field. Highly unlikely to feature here.
