Doncaster Race 3 - Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers Stakes (Group 2)
FINAL OBJECTIVE (4) caught the eye gaining an easy maiden success at Thirsk over 1200m before a smart 0.75L second in the 1200m G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York three weeks ago. Represents notable connections. Leading contender. PERSHAADA (12) won the 1000m G3 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood before a 6L defeat when fourteenth attempting the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York over 1000m. Respect as set to bounce back. FLANN SUNNA (5) found success on first two starts over 1200m at Windsor and Ascot before a 4.5L fifth in the 1200m G2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. Big claims. SALE SHARK (7) landed the 1000m Listed Roses Stakes at York three weeks ago and looks progressive. Might feature.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 in the G2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood on July 30 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Man's Best Friend carrying 58kg at $2. The start before that favourite; won by 5 len at Ascot on July 10 over 1200m defeating Mysterious Times carrying 61kg at $2.90. Certainly worth following up.
