Doncaster Race 5 - Summer Saturdays At Doncaster Hcp
ROSSA RAHEEN (4) rebounded after a below-par performance on soft ground when beaten only 1.5L fourth latest at Newbury (2000m). The extra journey here should suit well. Looks the selection. WILLOW WOOD (5) made the breakthrough raised to this distance last time at Ffos Las. Did it nicely there by 3.75L. Clear danger in the line-up. BOILERMAKER (6) underwhelmed when a warm favourite at Goodwood (2400m). Didn't look the most straightforward there so cheekpieces seem a good plan. Worth considering. ROYAL POETRY (1) often front-runs. Second latest albeit 6.5L from the easy winner (2000m). Holds possibilities.

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 9 at Lingfield on June 18 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Oh Yes You Do with 61kg at $26. Last start 2nd in a small field at Epsom Downs on July 9 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Zurna with 61kg at $10. Close to a win. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.

Comes here off a 45-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at Nottingham on June 3 over 2000m, 16 len behind Barbury Boy carrying 57.5kg at $6.50. Before that 5th of 9 at Great Yarmouth on April 30 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Euston Hall with 56kg at $301. Impossible to make a case.

Third-up today. Freshened for 44 days. First-up 4th of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on April 30 over 2000m, 6 len behind Mythical Bird with 56kg at $11. Second run from a spell won by 4 len at Ffos Las June 4 over 2400m defeating Reem Rak with 59kg at $4.20. Promising galloper. Fitter and is among the winning hopes.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 8 at Goodwood on June 19 over 2400m, 1.75 len behind Celestarak with 59.5kg at $2.30. The race before that 2nd of 11 at Thirsk on May 16 over 2400m, 0.5 len behind Caraway carrying 58kg at $3.30. Worth plenty of thought.
