3.40 Lingfield Totally uninspiring looking few days on the AW with little to get excited about in modest field sizes aswell. Just interested in one and very uninspiring selection but hope it can do the business 1 bet 1 win be nice! Bottom 2 make no appeal both running well out of the handicap. I am finding it really hard to see why Red Larkspur is as short as she is, not seen since October when failing to beat a rival on soft ground. She was generally well held in AW handicaps prior to that off the mark of 78 several times. Now running off 75 and only has one win to her name in a maiden so has plenty of negatives. First time hood is used and Hughes an eye catching booking but clearly overbet. Catalinas Diamond has been largely consistent this winter, but is not an easy one to win with she did get her head in front on penultimate start, 3lb rise has left her looking exposed and well beaten last time out on this mark. She needs them to go hard up front often travels well and finds less than seems likely most of the time. Chevise scored at 20/1 on penultimate start a bit out of the blue although had fell a fair way in the handicap but went back in her shell last time out off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton. The return to Lingfield a plus and well treated on best form but becoming unreliable with age. Amethyst Dawn is a likeable reliable mare who has run respectably all winter, a good second behind run away winner last time out (Elusive Hawk, races in the 3.10) and the 5^th Mataajir won this weekend at his preferred Southwell. She comfortably beat the remainder of the field and gets to run off the same mark. She remains well treated on her very best form and in a race which perhaps wont take much winning. 2pt win Amethyst Dawn 7/4 boyles

Re: Flat Racing Monday 24th 16:40 El Libertador Having a another go with topspeed figures. This selection looks the value using them. Last 8 runs have all been at track finishing in a place 6/8. Is dropping back into a 0 -60 and dropping from rating of 61 to 58. Just this second lost a point from 9's to 8/1 bet365 0.5EW
