Ok, just had a look at the form and i think i've narrowed it down to 7 chances, Casino Prince, Eskimo Queen, All Silent, Friday Creek, Forensics, Hot Danish, Serious Speed.

Traditionalists will say that the Doncaster mile is a very tough one and the winner needs to be a strong mile plus runner rather than a sprinter/miler; and i think this could be true this year what with all the goings on with the track. This puts Forensics in a tricky situation, from what we've seen in her last few starts she's got home okay but shes up against some some good milers in a big field and i think is susceptible. similar situation for All Silent, the randwick mile is the query and i think it could be outclassed. Friday Creek is an interesting one, placings in group races last 4 starts, it just can't seem to finish off, but over the odds and a good place chance.

That leaves 3, Casino Price, Eskimo Queen and Hot Danish. the first two have proven themselves over bigger distances, Eskimo Queen a derby winner and Casino Prince running a good third in the Australian Cup. Hot Danish is an interesting one, proven over the mile (including a gp2 at randwick last prep) and drops a stack of weight from last few runs.

But i'm going with Casino Prince as my top pick, been in outstanding form with a win in the Gp1 Chipping Norton at the randwick mile over Tuesday Joy, and a good 3rd in the George Ryder behind Weekend Hussler (superstar) and Racing to win (former doncaster winner) in the heavy going

good luck
