We take a look at each runner in the race and give you the best information to make your selection for the race. Around the favourite there is some great value in the market. View the Doncaster Mile 2013 runner previews, tips and odds.
1. Shoot Out Preview:
Shoot Out will carry the top weight in the Doncaster Mile on Saturday and he will be looking to go one better this year after running second in the 2012 edition of the race. You can get $16 for him in betting which looks excellent value and is a very live chance in the race.

2. Pierro Preview:
Pierro will jump as the short priced favourite in the big field although bookmakers have been happy to risk him on Saturday with Sportsbet offering $4 for a maximum of $100. In the market he is a $2.50 chance with two online bookmakers with the others keeping him safe at $2.30. He looks the horse to beat in the race but isn’t very well weighted against the older horses.

3. Glass Harmonium Preview:
Glass Harmonium is the likely leader in the race and should make it a true pace throughout. Against some very good horses here its unlikely to keep going but could snatch a place if he doesn’t get pressured in front.

4. Veyron Preview:
Veyron had his first start in Australia in the George Ryder when running eighth. He should improve from the run and his record at the distance is very good. You can get $67 for him in betting and he definitely should be added to your multiples.

5. Danleigh Preview:
Danleigh is as honest as they come and always runs well. He is getting on a bit in age and isn’t at his best anymore. He is a $51 chance in betting and i doubt he can run a place on Saturday.
Trainer: C J Waller
Jockey: J A Cassidy

6. Happy Trails Preview:
Happy Trails is much better suited in the weights in the Doncaster compared to the George Ryder where Pierro was too good. He is currently a $26 chance in betting although he has only placed once from four starts at Randwick so id be happy to leave him out.
Trainer: Paul Beshara

7. Ethiopia Preview:
Ethiopia is a very talented galloper but ran a long last in the Melbourne Cup at the end of his last preparation due to an injury in the run which is a concern and we haven’t seen him since. If he is at his best he will go close but i think this is just a run to get some fitness in his legs and should be hitting the line strongly but unlikely to be in the placings.

8. Secret Admirer Preview:
Secret Admirer likes the track and the distance and at $26 in betting looks great each way value. She is likely to go back in the run and if there is good speed on which is likely with Glass Harmonium in the race she is a great chance at good odds.
Trainer: G M Begg

9. Solzhenitsyn Preview:
Solzhenitsyn ran last in the George Ryder when he was was supported. You can put a line through that run and forgive him although you will be taking a risk that he can bounce back on Saturday and at the odds others look better value.
Trainer: R L Heathcote
Jockey: D J Browne

Weight to be carried: 54.5kg
10. Lamasery Preview:
Lamasery is coming off a tenth in Group 2 Ajax Stakes last start where he hit the line strongly. Online bookmakers arent giving him much chance in the Doncaster although i think at $81 he has to be included in your multiples as he looks well over the odds.

11. Appearance Preview:
Appearance has won back to back Group 1 races and gets into the race very well rated. She looks to be one of the major dangers to Pierro in the race and must be kept safe.

12. Red Tracer Preview:
Red Tracer is a notable wet tracker and the forecast is for heavy showers tomorrow morning in Sydney. If the track is a slow or heavy you must include her in your selections.

13. Streama Preview:
Streama is another runner who is very well rated in the race. The big query for her is the outside barrier she has drawn but if the rain comes that will be a lesser of a disadvantage. Keep safe at long odds.

14. Norzita Preview:
Norzita was super impressive last start and she is weighted well here. Has drawn a bad barrier which is a concern and has been a notable drifter in the market, others are better suited in the race.

17. Fontelina Preview:
Fontelina is likely to go forward in the race and make her own luck which is a bonus. She looks to be a horse at long odds that could cause an upset. Good each way bet.
