Group 1 Doncaster Mile 1600m

Not sure where he is going but that Zaaki was an outstanding run first up in the race. 

I thought Mugatoo had every hope. Avilius was a good run, but MacDonald jumped well and then was pushed back about three or four lengths from where he could have settled. I think we saw Forbidden Love is a 1400m horse and she will have plenty of opportunities at that distance such as Rupert Clarke, Stradbroke and CFOrr and Futurity among others.  

I think the All Star Mile took a lot out of the runners as some horses like Star Of The Seas and Shout The Bar have not recovered.

Icebath was not unlucky, but she again found one better than her and she looks an ideal type to freshen and target the Stradbroke and Tatts Tiara. 

And old matey Dalasan. I thought when he burst through with Icebath it would be his day, but alas I realised it was Dalasan. He is obviously a good miler and so the spring should be a P.B.Lawrence, into the Makybe Diva, into the Underwood, into the Toorak and then the Cantala and if his form warrants a shot at the Mackinnon.

All in all a good race and plenty to follow out of it!
