Lingfield 16/07/08

2.50 I monitored Tantris' maiden runs as I thought he be very interesting over middle distances when handicapping. Two fair runs on his first two starts over 7f shaping as further would suit. You can draw your own conclusions as to why this High Chaparral gelding was dropped to 5f for his final maiden start. He didn't show on his handicap debut but I thought he looked plotted out for his race LTO at Brighton. My internet was down so couldn't do a write up but I had a decent bet at double figures. He was backed down to 4/1 before drifting back to 6/1. Shane Kelly threw the race away IMO, he took it up far too early. He hit the front about 5 out, he went clear and looked the winner but was collared late on. It's almost impossible to win like that at Brighton. He looks sure to win a similar race of this sort of mark. This is probably slightly tougher than that and this is only 10f but I'm going to keep him on my side for the time being. I've took what I can at around 9 and above. Tantris 50% of stake EW Again not a massive bet for me as I believe that things were all in place LTO. When you miss your chance, it's not always easy to get compensation at this level.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	3.20 Lingfield
Selection	Lady Dedlock
Strength	10/10
Date	16/07/2008
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 4.60 (Back)
Reasoning	Shown marked improvement since joining Jamie Poulton and won easily at Kempton two starts ago. Last time out, finished 2nd back on turf in a competitive race and had Mister Completely (whos run in this today) well behind. Still seems to be progressing and comes into this race with the best form on offer. Has to be the value at the price against Swingkeel who is unproven over the trip.
