Lingfield 5th March (AW)

[chris34]

1.20 Lingfield Bilberry got back in front on penultimate start and not put up an excessive 2lb and ran a creditable effort in defeat last time out in a muddling race where they went a dawdle and sprinted for the line, race should be run more to suit today with several front runners. Pha Mai Blue could be dangerous if all is well after a break, yard in good form and has a good record on the awwith all 3 wins coming over this course now 5lb lower than last winning mark potentially dangerous if back to best after rest, has previously gone well fresh. 0.5pt win bilberry 0.25pt e/w pha mai blue 3.00 Lingfield A very interesting and competitive 3yr old handicap and Brittains horses continue in fine form and I actually laid Azlak last time out but showed much improved form last week over kemptons mile having dropped a considerable amount in handicap, runs off same mark today and Callan booked for the ride who is also in fine form. Wide draw is the only drawback for a prominent runner and hence reason I am not getting stuck right in. 0.5pt win azlak 3.35 Lingfield Several usual aw sprinters here and some potentially well handicapped but when sprinters are in form they win if they aint they dont win its usually a good rule of form with sprinters on aw. Brynfa Boy made a positive comeback from break in weak maiden but really stepped up winning handicap next time out, up 6lb for that effort and there was plenty of money around last time out similar today would suggest he is to run another solid race. Chjimes has plummeted in the weights and has a fantastic record around here and should appreciate a short break after a busy spell and could pose a danger if getting the gaps. 1pt win Brynfa boy 0.25pt e/w chjimes 4.45 Lingfield Nacho Libre may be worth taking a chance on if getting away on terms for once and getting a prominent position and has some useful 2yr old form an although hasnt reached such heights since he did hit a good run when able to dictate. 0.25pt e/w nacho libre

Re: Lingfield 5th March (AW) PHAI MAI BLUE 1.20 Lingfield. 0.5 points each way. Needed a break after recent efforts and te only hope is that it was the 'pause that refreshes' as they say. If he can run to ability, then with getting in off a mark of 60, he should be capable of going very close. The trip and surface wouldn't be a concern, so all about whether he's ready to go again.
