UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

TURNER GIRL has benefited from the application of cheekpieces on her last couple of outings, going close at Catterick before going one better at Newcastle. The daughter of Mastercraftsman went up 4lb for that success and may have further improvement to come. Alshadhian had shown promise on his first couple of starts and is expected to bounce back from his latest effort at Doncaster, while Robusto and Waterloo Sunset can fight it out for the placings.
Prediction : 1st Turner Girl 2nd Alshadhian 3rd Robusto

GIRL MAGIC has shown a liking for this track, with her last two victories coming here over 6f, and the daughter of Havana Grey, who drops back to 5f on this occasion, is expected to prove too strong for her rivals. Faustus scored at Brighton last time and is respected off a 4lb higher mark. Betweenthesticks and Cabeza De Llave are others likely to enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Girl Magic 2nd Faustus 3rd Betweenthesticks

The drop to 6f appeared to work the oracle for TOPO CHICO with a comfortable success at Windsor last Sunday. She has to carry a 6lb penalty for that success, but the manner of that performance suggested it wouldn't be a surprise to see her back it up. A change of headgear to first-time blinkers might aid the cause of Talamanca, while Phoenix Glow and Katar complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Topo Chico 2nd Talamanca 3rd Phoenix Glow

CAJETAN displayed a lot more promise when just denied at Salisbury last Thursday and a similar level of performance may suffice in this contest. Elmonjed, a half-brother to the highly-rated Khanjar, is a potential fly in the ointment, and any market support would make the Blue Point gelding interesting. Shayekh should prove more competitive in these calmer waters and could put his experience to good use to have a say in the finish too.
Prediction : 1st Cajetan 2nd Elmonjed 3rd Shayekh

BELO HORIZONTE gained compensation for his luckless third at Wolverhampton last Tuesday when winning with ease two days later at Yarmouth. Richard Spencer's gelding should have little difficulty in shrugging off a 6lb penalty on that evidence. Blue Curacao failed to fire in a first-time hood at Epsom at the start of the month, but the three-year-old can't be discounted now entering into a classified stakes contest. Sapphire's Moon has a squeak on her best form this season and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Belo Horizonte 2nd Blue Curacao 3rd Sapphires Moon

I'M MABLE has maintained her form with some creditable efforts in defeat since winning over an extended 5f at Brighton in June. The Michael Attwater mare now races off the same mark as that success and the ease in trip shouldn't prove an inconvenience. The five-year-old gets the nod, ahead of Sparked, who was only denied by a neck at Windsor last Monday. Imperiousity and Thank The Lord also make some appeal off their current ratings in what looks a wide-open contest.
Prediction : 1st Im Mable 2nd Sparked 3rd Thank The Lord
