Re: Best Bet of the Day - Mon 31/3/08 Lingfield 3.10 - Grand Plan - 1 point to win. 6 runner 2YO race where the 3 that have already had an outing were all in the same race at Warwick The one that finished 2nd that day, Percolator, will probably go off as odds on favourite with that '2' against her name and a big name trainer. But I reckon she's worth taking on........she was favourite at warwick which suggests she was ready, but faded to get beaten over 4 lengths. Maybe that's her chance of a win gone and that's as good as she is..........if she was fit and ready for that race, there's no reason to think she'll improve. The top weight in this median auction contest is Grand Plan, who cost about 10 times more than Percolator and is related to sprint dirt winners in America. Under the race terms she only gives Percolator 3 lbs. Her trainer, J Osborne, gets a triple tick for First Time Out Runners in the Postdata. RP forecast 4/1..........
