WITH the weather set fair up and down the country, it is nice to know as a pundit exactly the going we can expect at race tracks on a premier Saturday of racing. Doncaster’s turf description for the final grass meeting of the season is currently soft as I write this and good to soft in places may also sneak into that title by Saturday afternoon.
The big race itself at 3.45 looks wide open as per normal. I have actually backed two horses ante-post in the form of CHILLINGHAM and MASTER BUILDER.
The former has run consistently well all season without grabbing a gold medal, but as a consequence the handicapper has found it hard to drop him to a more viable mark. But that still means that you can also set his clock by him, and I find it hard to see him out of the five, the number of places most bookmakers will be offering this afternoon.
