Flat Racing Tuesday 23rd of October

*Officer In Command - Lingfield 5:30* Course and distance winner three times, so clearly loves this track. Its last 4 runs at this course reads 1-2-2-1. Was 2nd off a mark of 70 here the last time it was in a handicap here, and runs off 67 tomorrow, off a very leniant mark. James Doyle is a good jockey booking and must hold every chance. *1 Point WIN @ 3/1 Bet365 BOG*

Re: Flat Racing Tuesday 23rd of October 14.50 Yarmouth: Panama Cat @ 11/2 Bet365 This filly really caught my eye in her most recent run at Catterick. She was soon outpaced over a sharp 6f trip at Catterick, a track that favours prominent ridden horses in my mind. Panama Cat was relegated to the rear of the field and made her jockey to work hard to keep her in in the race. She was way behind the leaders turning for home but stayed on super well in the closing stages to finish only 1½ beaten in fourth place eventually. That goes down as an excellent performance in my book. She demonstrated that she handles soft ground which will be vital tomorrow at Yarmouth and the step up in distance should be in her favour. Of course is still a big ask to race on heavy ground and 2f more but if she stays then she has a big chance to go close here. 15.20 Yarmouth: Climaxfortackle @ 16/1 Paddy Power There might be not that much speaking for Climaxfortackle's chance here in first glance as she's yet to win a race on turf but I think that the ground is not really an issue for her actually. In fact she was desperately unlucky last time out at Leicester in a big sprint handicap. She travelled well enough but was then hampered in the closing stages and after that when she found her rhythm back a clear run denied too. She couldn't have been unluckier and would have gone much closer with a clear run. It was a messy race and the horse she interfered with there won in her next start ironically. So this form works out well actually. Step up in trip to 7f should be rather in Climaxfortackle favour as she won over further and for the ground issue it looks as if soft ground brings out the best of her on turf. So overall there is something to like about her chance as she's also down to an interesting mark.
