Doncaster Race 5 - Summer Saturdays At Doncaster Hcp
WILLOW WOOD (5) Dominant winner by 3 3/4L last time at Ffos Las and showing improvement in recent outings. Can go through the gears. No surprise to see a win. BOILERMAKER (6) Competitive effort when 3rd last run at Goodwood and has the ideal draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very competitive this preparation. One of the major hopes. ROYAL POETRY (1) Was competitive when 2nd last time at Salisbury. Jockey S C Cronin and trainer Richard Hannon Jr have enjoyed a lot of success together. Should muster plenty of early toe. Looks a great place bet. TAI HANG PEGASUS (2) Tidy run when 2nd last time at Epsom. Expecting to settle positively. Winnable race.

At $6.50 below expectations when 6th last run at Nottingham but gets a favourable draw. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at Ffos Las and getting better in recent performances. Expected to be flashing home. Winning chance.

Honest race when 3rd last run at Goodwood and has drawn to do little work. Should jump out and bowl along. Displaying good ability this campaign. Should give this a shake.
