Lingfield 20th Oct (AW)

3.00 Lingfield Cant believe my mandy is still a maiden having run so well at times in handicaps aswell having finished 3rd both starts recently round here has a better draw today she defenetily looks as though the jockey earns theyre riding fee but it does pay off after finishing well last time out and Kelly is re installed thankfully! 0.25pt e/w my mandy 4.00 Lingfield The market would suggest this is a wide open event and theyre probably right with it being on the all weather but I just cant get past the fav perfect act hasn’t yet won on the aw but ran a real eye catching race a month ago at kempton running on strongly from a bad draw similar story today from stall 10 but was just so eye catching. The only other I see to be a threat is the potential improver in the field space station who is still a maiden having so nearly got up round here on turf before being pipped and was then 4th at Epsom again over 7f on handicap debut and certainly shaped as if 7f was a stretch and a step back to 6f would suit 0.5pt e/w perfect act 9/2 bet365 0.25pt e/w space station 6/1 bet365 4.30 Lingfield Again hard to look past the fav here again poppanan who takes a step back in trip and will appreciate good clip which is likely with so many front runners in the field. He finished runner up to the useful billy red last month and wouldn’t need to improve too much from that effort to land this. Also come on buckers is 1lb out of the handicap and is likely to be one of the front runners and maybe worth a chance at taking a seat behind some of the other trail blazers and see what happens and is clearly in good heart at mo and looks far too bigger price at 16s. 0.5pt win poppanan 7/2 bet365 0.25pt e/w come on buckers 16/1 bet365 5.00 Lingfield Couple of these landed handicaps at wolverhampton one was certainly a shock but may not be able to improve enough to cope with the 6lb penalties and therefore im gonna go for a semi outsider D’artagnans dream who was seen improving last time out over CD finishing 2nd to the useful arty crafty has been put up 3lb for that but should still be in with a shout if repeating that. 0.25pt e/w Dartagnans dream

Re: Lingfield 20th Oct (AW) 4.00 Lingfield This is a bit of a speculative bet but then again this looks a difficult card on a difficult day of racing and nothing much really stands out for me so I will put forward anyway - Quasi Congaree. The thing that draws me in with this one is that he is the only front runner in the race and this looks a race that could get really messy inbehind as the majority of the runners prefer to be held up. He is yet to win after five starts but has shown enough in maidens to suggest he is capable of defying a mark of 68 here with his Ripon run (over this trip) inparticular looking really strong in the context of this race. He has to put behind him a no show at Wolverhampton, latest, but it looks a poor race and with the under-rated (IMO) Cathy Gannon capable from the front (Wind Flow etc) he is my pick from a good draw. 14/1, 2 pt EW (3 places, 1/4 odds).
