Doncaster

5.15 – Marine Commando 1pt win 25/1 Boyle , 20/1 generally

A wide open handicap, but I think it’s worth having a small wager on Marine Commando at a massive price.
He’s had just the 2 runs for Ruth Carr, having joined her mid-summer from the Fahey yard, and is just the sort that she excels with.
He finished 2^nd at this meeting last year in the class 3, 6 furlong handicap off a mark of 87, and turns up today off 80.  He caught my eye on his first run for Ruth Carr, when given plenty to do in a course and distance handicap in August.  Since then he has had another quiet run at Chester.
It could be that they are just trying to rekindle his enthusiasm for the game, and it may not be until next year that he turns the corner, but if the gun is put to his head today, then he is certainly weighted to win, and conditions should be ideal.
