Late Tip advised over twitter -
18:00 - MAGIKA - 2 Point WIN @ 7/2 = WON
Lingfield -
13:30 - DISCO DAVE - 3 Point Win @ 11/4 = 2nd & PETERSBODEN - 0.5 Point EW @ 8/1 = 5th
DISCO DAVE failed to produce anything on his 5 starts in IRELAND but has shown plenty of promise at this level on his first 2 starts over here for Daniel Loughnane. This 6 year old gelding spent over 500 days away from the track before finishing a creditable 2nd on his reappearance/debut for new yard over 9f at Wolves in December. He followed that up by cleverly winning last time out in a 0-65 event also at Wolves over the same trip. It looks as though the trainer has done a good job with this one as he has shaped nicely so far & has looked progressive in doing so. The manner in which he won last time suggested he had more to give & racing against lower rated opposition tonight gives him obvious appeal. It should be taken into account that he received weight all round last time which no doubt helped & top weight today would be a negative; however, the appointment of promising apprentice jockey Louis Steward who claims 7lb looks a shrewd one & will see DISCO DAVE sit much lower down in the weights. Overall DISCO DAVE looks as though he could be on an upward curve & if coming here in the same form as his last two efforts then there is no reason why he cannot run a big race again. 11/4 looks a decent price & looks worth the bet.
Michael Blanshards' entrant here is another who catches the eye & at a bigger price looks worth a small EW punt. A consistent sort of late with form figures of 1334 from his last four outings all at this trip of 10f. That 4th last time out was a respectable effort as the front 4 passed the line with just over a length covering them. Attain finished second that day & goes again here, looking one of the more fancied types. PETERSBODEN meets that one on much better terms today weight wise & could potentially reverse the form. Overall this gelding has been consistent, showing some steady form over C&D at this level & at a decent EW price there is no obvious reason why he can't go well once more & perhaps run into the place money.
