Second day of the Doncaster meeting.  Some competitive races again today.  At 3:00 pm the staying race for fillies and mares over 14f looks a good one.  It is a shame only 7 start, as it knocks the each way angle of first three home.  I do think God Given could run well in this, she is meeting Horseplay on 3lb better terms for a short head defeat over 12f when the last met,  she will appreciate any rain and is an honest filly.  The favourite Pilaster has done little wrong,  and has the best form , she has improved with each run this year, and looks for her fourth win, not sure the change of jockey is a positive, as I do believe a rider who knows the horse well is worth a pound or two.

A good amount of rain has fallen in Scotland, making ground at Hamilton on the soft side tonight.   Hopefully Yes You can win again for Iain Jardine At 6:55, she is very honest and will help Jamie Gormley in his fight to be Champion apprentice this season, although a ban coming up soon for careless riding will be inconvenient.
