Flat Racing Fri 4th

From a decent card by Southwell standards yesterday to a piss poor card a Lingfield today! 1.50 Lingfield Real weak affair with many of these either not knowing how to win or win very rarely. That said Wyeth was making into a decent sort on the AW, winning 2 amateur events in good style over CD before going wrong over hurdles in Feb 09, pulled up again when next seen in Nov 10 over hurdles but was eye catchingly staying on over an inadequate trip over this course in a seller steps back up in trip and has to be bang there against these weaker rivals also worth noting that a yard does well with these sorts and good signed theyve perserved with him. The only other that comes into this in any sign of little form is olivinio having won a handicap hurdle in Sept and ran 10l 2nd behind the revitilized Brabazon over CD, didnt get best run last time out and that was also over 4f shorter and would look to bounce back over a longer trip. 0.4pt win Wyeth 5/6 vc 0.1pt win Olivinio 6/1 pp 2.50 Lingfield Again many of these struggling to beat rivals home at the moment but Black Bacarra finally took advantage of a massive slide in the weights last time out confirming promise he had been showing in handicaps prior to that. Some of that form is working out well and appeared to be going further away last time out and could still be said to be well handicapped under a 6lb penalty although he is set to race off just a 5lb higher mark when new mark comes in which seems extremely lenient useful in form apprentice Julie Burke takes the ride and well drawn in stall 4. The other that could be given a chance is Seeking Rio who is running out of the handicap by a 1lb but put an improved effort in behind Rightcar last time out first run for over a year and if coming on for the run has to be given a chance, having just plugged on and worth another try at 6f still lightly raced and could be open to more improvement than most in this race! 0.3pt win Black Bacarra 3/1 pp 0.2pt win Seeking Rio 16/1 bet365

Re: Flat Racing Fri 4th 2.50 Lingfield: Grand Honour 1pt win @ 6/1 Betfred BOG Ran well on penultimate start after a break when close 2nd over C&D before disappointing as favourite over 7f at Kempton LTO. Possible that the C&D effort was not the strongest contest in the world, however neither is this. Black Baccara may take all the beating but with this horse looking particularly well handicapped on best form and with George Baker in the saddle, could improve on that penultimate start here. Drawn well, stable in form (only runner across cards today) - should go close IMO.
