Lingfield - Thursday

[bowles10]

Lingfield last race 5.10 Class F handicap 1m 2f BE WISE GIRL (T Quinn) I dont think this is much of a race to be honest with a number of horses that do not see out the trip. Likely favourite Easter Ogil won last time out for 1st time since Feb 03 & is now 10yo. Attempting to win again carrying 9st 6lb will be a difficult task. BE WISE GIRL should run well at a nice price. Has had 2 runs on AW this year & 3 over hurdles. LTO finished 7th over 1m 4f. 2 races ago finished 2nd over Course & 1m 1f when Favourite for same class as this race. The horse has to lead in its races & can take these along at a clip. Has been caught on the run in a few times but I would hope that it would hold out for a place as not much will be coming through to challenge as others do not stay. If it gets far enough in front, it could nick it. Will be checking the EP's in case it's around 12/1 as that would be a nice EW bet.
