Doncaster Race 6 - Meadowhall X Flannels Beauty Bar Nursery (Gbbplus Race) (Str)
AL WATHBA (1) looks promising with a pair of runner-up efforts over 1400m preceding a 1L success in a 1600m novice event at Kempton AW two weeks ago. Finds a perfect opportunity to follow up. The one to beat. ZARAKOVA (3) confirmed a promising second outing at Epsom Downs securing a neck victory in a 1600m maiden at Newmarket. Respect as set to follow up. WAASIL (2) bids for a hat-trick. Managed a 1400m novice win at Beverley prior to a 1.25L success in a lower nursery level at Newbury. Rises in journey and makes appeal. KEEP GRATING (5) posted a close second contesting a 1400m novice race at the course before winning over the same distance at Yarmouth. Interesting.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; won by 1.0 len at Kempton Park All Weather on August 26 over 1600m defeating Pure Concept with 60.5kg at $1.60. The run before that ran second last in a small field at Leicester on August 9 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Jimtrott with 60.5kg at $1.20. Certain to be hard to beat again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 39-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Great Yarmouth on August 2 over 1400m defeating Telegraphic with 59kg at $2.10. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1400m, head behind Sanbona Warrior with 59kg at $5. Can improve further and is worth following up.
