Doncaster 3:35 Result

Sea Of Rain has the highest OR (101) in the field and boasts a progressive, consistent formline (223141) culminating in a recent win. Trained by Jim Bolger and ridden by Rossa Ryan, she's out of a Teofilo mare (strong middle-distance/mile influence) and has already shown she stays a mile well with a recent victory 12 days ago, keeping her fresh and in form. Her rating edges out Ballyskeagh (99), Eabha (98) and Scommessa Sicura (97), and she has more proven big-race experience than most of this field. The consistent upward trajectory in her form figures suggests she's still improving at exactly the right time. Eabha and Scommessa Sicura both have solid recent form but their ratings sit a touch below Sea Of Rain, and neither has shown quite the same scoring power. Ballyskeagh (Joseph O'Brien) is interesting with a nice 512 profile but the days between runs and step up in class here are unproven. Musical Times (Appleby/Buick) has a smart 11 form figure but a 70-day layoff is a concern fitness-wise for a two-year-old stepping into Group 2 company. Speckles for Aidan O'Brien has been well below her contemporaries on official figures (95) with a modest recent past. Martinet, Beguiled and others look shorter of proven class at this level. Overall, Sea Of Rain offers the best blend of proven big-race class, current form, and value in a race that lacks a standout market leader given the closely-matched ratings across several fillies.
