Best Bet of the Day 25/11/08

[PL2008]

12:30 Lingfield Sophies Trophy Trainer P M Phelan has an excellent record here at trips of at least 11 furlongs: 11f-12f = 2 wins from 4 starts (+16.25lsp) 13f+ = 1 win from 1 start (+3.00lsp) 3 wins from 3 (+21.25lsp) with 3yo's. Those are runners on the flat and stats that might be useful for this race. Phelans last two winners at this course raced for 11f (19Nov) and 13f (13Nov). 3 of 6 bumper starters the past 5 seasons from Phelan finished in the top 3. 1pt win

Re: Best Bet of the Day 25/11/08 3.10 Southwell Me Fein - A P Stringer's gelding has looked a complete donkey on recent turf appearances, but looks a different animal on the all-weather with three wins from five starts. Not only has he proven his stamina over this trip with a win at Wolverhampton, he has winning course form having picked up a handicap at a lower level back in March. The handicapper has acknowledged his strength in this sphere and rated him 4 lb higher than when picking up that 0-65 Wolverhampton race, but providing all is well with him he looks a decent bet at the price (7/1 Betfred). 1 pt win.
