Day 1 on the Doncaster St Leger meeting takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors Long Shot tipster.
Doncaster
J: O J Orr
T: R A Fahey
Eartha certainly wasn't disgraced when finishing 2nd to the now 99 rated Bountiful on her race course debut at Thirsk in May. She then went onto win her maiden at Wetherby, staying on well to get up close home over 5 1/2 furlongs. Given a near 2 month break she then ran a good race to finish 3rd of 11 over 5f at Southwell. Eartha looks a filly that should progress with her racing and appears to be on a fair handicap mark of 79 at present. She should get a nice strong early pace to sit behind in today's race and the extra distance may well help her. Eartha rates a 4 star each way Pick.
