Doncaster Thursday Betting Tips for the St Leger Meeting Part

The Weatherby's Insurance £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes is the next race on the card and this one will be hotly-contested so you can expect some serious swings in the wagering in the build-up to the race. Aidan O'Brien saddles Parliament Square for this one and he goes off as the 9-5 top weight. He's got an RPR of 121 and that places him a fair bit ahead of most of the others with the exception of Richard Fahey's Flyman and Kevin Ryan's Hototo.

Many coming into this race have only been on track a few times some enter directly off a maiden score. Flyman will attract some attention as he's won twice in a row and looks solid enough considering the competition that he's up against.

If you're looking for a real wild card in this one, try looking at Letsalkaboutmoney – he's still a maiden but only missed out y a head at Kempton last time and really looked to have turned a corner after running credibly in a listed contest at Ascot.

The Group 2 encounter for the day is the DFS Park Hill Stakes and it's going 1m6f132y. This one looks to be all about the Queen's horse Estimate who retains Paul Hanagan and looks especially competitive from a ratings stand-point. She took the Group 3 Queen's Vase by five lengths and didn't miss by too much last time when finishing up a battling third at Goodwood.

Wild Coco ultimately won that battle and she lines up here with Tom Queally in the irons for Gestut Rottgen's four-year-old filly. She's taken a Group 3 along with a listed race and certainly looks bang in-form.

Following the day's feature contest we have a maiden contest going 1m for colts and geldings with 15 runners ready to roll. A significant number of these haven't been on track before and it's interesting see them debuting at the distance. That really opens this one up but Luca Cumani's Sicur could be worth a look having finished third on debut last time at Newmarket while Space Ship was a fourth place finisher last time out and retains William Buick for the steer.

Well-bred Godolphin debutante Winterlude is by Street Cry and is out of a Sadler's Wells mare. He could be worth a look and remains an entire colt.

The Ladbrokes Bingo Handicap is a 6f dash on the grass and we'll see some very indifferent form coming into the race for most of the entries. Goldream has been there or thereabouts over the last while and should attract some attention as should Amadeus Wolfe Tone.

The final race of the day is the DFS Handicap going 1m2f60y for three-year-old's ad up. Trade Storm enters off a victory but is just pipped for the top weight spot as Sandagiyr gets the nod with Mickael Barzalona booked for the trip. Specific Gravity gets Tom Queally and lines up for Sir Henry Cecil.
