Doncaster Race 8 - 275Mtrs (D4)

BALLYMAC ACRES (5) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at Doncaster over 275m behind Cushie Arnie (22.59) in a D4. Placed at his previous run. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from five starts. Tough to beat if on-song. DIRECT LOUIE (1) is having his first look at this course. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 6 lengths (17.92) at Doncaster. One of the main contenders. BALLYMAC NEPHET (4) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Doncaster over 275m behind Zena On Fire (18.04) in a D4. Was in the money prior to that. Cannot be underestimated. KEEL NEWS (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Doncaster then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in a B5 at Doncaster over 450m (28.63). Faces a stiffer test this time.
