Saturday February 6th

Three interests for today, all at Lingfield.


In the apprencitce handicap, Dickie Le Davoir looks a solid option in a race with plenty of early pace on. He is liable to start slowly, but the decent apprentice Billy Cray knows him by now and will be alert in the stalls. The selection steps up to seven furlongs, which he has won over in the past, and I think the strongly run race at this distance will suit a horse who always seems to finish fast and late. The selection has a very good record when turned out quickly and is on a very good handicap mark relative to his old form. He has been running well lately and was an eyecatcher at Wolverhampton the other day, suffering a wide trip and still running on for fourth in a better contest than this. The price looks fair. In the same contest, we'll chance a small bet on One Cool Dream on her second start for Peter Hiatt. Hiatt has sent out big priced winners at this track before, and the booking of a very good apprentice takes the eye. It is a speculative bet, but she has offered glimpses in the past that she can win off a mark as low as 57.


In the maiden at 2.00, Yourgolftravel Com is worth a small bet. He pulled hard over one mile in a fair maiden last time out and steps back to seven furlongs today. He is a big, strong, scopey horse and if they try, they could go close to winning this very poor contest. He has been priced up at 25/1 because the bookies reckon he is just out to get a handicap mark today, but they could be in for a shock if he is put in the race. It's a big "if", but Wigham horses have won at big prices before and 25/1 is far too big.


Best Recommendation:


1.25 Lingfield Dickie Le Davoir, 3pts each-way @ 8/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)


1.25 Lingfield One Cool Dream, 1pt win @ Betfair SP


2.00 Lingfield Yourgolftravel Com, 1pt each-way @ 25/1
