Doncaster 13:20 | Blixen Force – 15/18
I love watching the Brocklesby, simply because there is so much unknown in the race – but it makes it quite difficult for betting!
Amo Racing won the 2022 edition with the superb Persian Force, had the runner-up in 2023 and won last year’s renewal with Norman’s Cay, so following their horses in this race is a good way to play.
Persian Force is now a first-season sire, so Blixen Force is at the top of the market in this year’s contest.
Due to the sire’s forward nature early in his career, there can be optimism the market leader will understand his task on debut. And he should be hard to beat if re-producing anything similar to his sire’s devastating performance in this four years ago.
Doncaster 13:50 | Spycatcher – 4/1
There is a lot to like about the profile of Spycatcher, who lines up in the Listed Cammidge Stakes, a race he won last year.
He has won twice at Doncaster from four starts, won off the back of a break before and has finished in the top three 11 times from 21 starts at class 1 level.
Although a small sample size, Karl Burke is operating at 40% over the past week, so his horses are tuned up – and if near his best he sets a tall standard.
This may be the time to catch him.
Doncaster 14:57 | Qirat – 4/1
An intriguing listed contest, despite only having five runners.
Docklands seems to save his best for Ascot, and Qirat is seemingly best around Goodwood, but one is 15/8 and the other 4/1 – and at their best, there is not too much between them.
It was an almighty upset Qirat produced when winning the Sussex Stakes, but he ran to that level on his next couple of starts and if fully tuned up, he could be overpriced.
Qirat might be the value play here.
Doncaster 15:32 | La Botte – 7/2
Picking the favourite in a 22-runner handicap is incredibly boring, but is also a reflection of the strength of La Botte’s credentials for this weekend’s feature.
He has suffered from some mind-blowing rides on his recent starts and not for positive reasons, and we should really be saying he was the winner of the Brittania Stakes at Royal Ascot.
There is only so much bad luck you can have and if he is ridden with even half a length’s more positivity, he should be hard to beat.
Race fitness should be assured after a recent run at Wolverhampton, and his current price could look a gift minutes after the race.
