Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Lingfield and Stratford.
Lingfield
4:00 – Crystal Caprice – 2/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection three wins from 5 runs this season put in a career best on RPR’s when 1 ½ length 3rd of 10 in a similar race at Newmarket last month. From a family that do with age she’s capable of better and if she handles the surface, no reason why the daughter of Frankel won’t, must be high on the shortlist.
4:35 – Street Kid – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – In a handicap where a couple of 3-year-old’s a returning from long absences the selection is the solid option. Unexposed on the all-weather, 2 wins from 5 runs, 4 places the 4-year-old was a head 2nd of 14 over C&D 77-days ago. Up 2lb on return but yard among the winners and has a handy low draw.
Stratford
2:40 – Templehills – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The 11-year-old’ best performance last season came when winning here over slightly further last October, off 5lb higher. Not the most reliable but was on a going day last time when a 3 ½ lengths 2nd of 5 here 24-days ago.
3:15 – Moonlighter – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Looks well handicapped and must be respected on first start for the inform Kim Bailey yard. The 9-year-old completely lost his way but if he was to get close to the form of his neck 2nd of 10 to Greaneteen in the valuable Haldon Gold Cup on seasonal reappearance in Nov 2020 off 18lb higher or his win at Sandown in January 2021 off 20lb higher he would comfortably see of his rivals.
Cheers
John
