Hi all,
Lingfield
2:00 – Miss Elsa – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Twice a winner on the all-weather since October, firstly at Wolverhampton and then over C&D three starts back. Hasn’t been disgraced on either of her last two starts where the pace of the race hasn’t suited her hold up style of running. Remains on a winnable mark when all the cards fall right.
4:15- First Link – 5/1 @ Bet365 – All three of the mare’s career wins have come here at Lingfield, including over C&D. Has been shaping like there is another win in her off her present mark. Looked to traveling smoothly enough when not getting the clearest of passages here 9-days ago but didn’t find as much as her jockey was expecting and had to settle for a close 4th. The 5-year-old gets the first-time blinkers today and shouldn’t be far away if the change of headgear has the desired effect.
Kempton
6:00 – Penarth Pier – 7/1 @ Bet365 – Had a wide draw to contend with, when returning from a 56-day break over C&D last week. Better drawn in stall three today and if adopting her normal prominent style of racing could be suited by the pace of the race. Should be sharper for last week’s run and is 2 wins from 4 runs 3 placed when racing within 10-days of her last start.
Cheers
John
