Donald tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.60 · Jackson Radley

The Justify gelding dwelt at Echuca yet still ran third over 1400m, and the rise to 1620m should suit his stamina profile. The Hayes stable places them well.

Our price $13.00 · SP $26.00 · Ms J Beriman

Blinkers go on first time, she maps to settle on-pace at a track that suits forward runners on Good ground, and the step to 1620m is ideal. She has no placings from six starts, so stakes should be kept modest.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.80 · R J Hurdle

The map is the query - a backmarker resuming at 1350m when her best form is 1600m+ at a track favouring on-pace runners. Her class and closing speed give her a clear second-best winning chance if the tempo is even and the leaders come back.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Toby Atkinson

Improving second-up mare who led and stuck on for 2nd at Wangaratta and was 3rd over this Donald 1200m on Good 4. Early-speed rank 2 with barrier 3, so she maps to control or sit handy on a track that strongly favours forward runners. Still a maiden but the progression and map give her a clear winning chance.

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · V Le Boeuf

His 1200m record (24:2-6-3) and 0-4-3 on Good ground underline placing reliability, though a low win rate limits him to place-only claims.

Our price $3.30 · SP $2.20 · Olivia East

He drops out of BM56 company and should settle just off what projects to be a genuine tempo.

Our price $7.70 · SP $6.00 · Tom Madden

He also placed when last resuming. However, 60kg topweight after 174 days off, an 0-from-3 record since his maiden win and the blinkers coming off make him a place/quinella type rather than a likely winner in a fast-run sprint.

Our price $8.50 · SP $13.00 · Jack Martin

Fonn Power shapes as the race's lone speed in a projected slow tempo, a scenario that can prove decisive over 2200m at Donald. Both recent failures were on rain-affected ground.

Our price $4.80 · SP $4.60 · Chelsea Thompson

Brings the strongest Donald 1620m form line, twice placed in Restricted 56 company and beaten roughly a length on each occasion, including a narrow defeat behind Thoughtful in July. The risk is his get-back pattern (settle ~8) into a moderate tempo and an unplaced record on Good ground.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Ms C Puls

She maps to sit second behind The Stock Route, a favourable position at Donald over the mile, and Ms C Puls has partnered her to three of her four career wins. She won a BM52 over 1800m on a Good surface earlier this year and drops in grade here.
