Handicap (3.10) at Doncaster on Friday, a 6-furlong contest featuring
22 runners, gives us something to work with and, as usual, we’ve
highlighted a couple that we think could go well at rewarding odds.
Jamaica Bolt has failed to
trouble the judge in five outings this term, but is consequently 1lb
lower in the weights than when winning this race last year, on the
prevailing good to soft going, so must be of interest once again. The
Pivotal gelding is 3-31 on turf, which probably tells you all you
need to know about, but is clearly capable enough on his day. Stall 1
is less than ideal, but he has everything lese in his favour and it
would be unwise to right him off on the basis of an unfavourable
track position alone.
Last year’s sixth, Mass Rally,
is 14lb lower in the weights than last year and, consequently, 10lb
better off for the 3½ lengths he finished behind Jamaica Bolt, which
should be enough to reverse the form, particularly as he’s better
drawn than his old rival, in stall 12, on this occasion. He’s on a
losing run of 20, stretching back two seasons, so clearly comes with
risks attached, but has been there or thereabouts on recent starts
and certainly wouldn’t be winning out of turn.
Selections: Doncaster 3.10
Jamaica Bolt, Mass Rally
