🐴 FRIDAY LAST OF THE MONTH PICKS!

📍LINGFIELD 
• 11.35 - MASHKUUR 9/4 : This just stands out as the winner to me. The fav steps up 2 grades and 5lb for winning at wolves last time, looks vulnerable. 
Our selection is a half brother to 1m-1m1.5f winner including at 2yo so the step up in trip may be ideal. With the Yard and jock in top form, on handicap debut looks very likely to improve (1pt Win)

• 12.40 - LUCKY AVA 5/1 EW : Closely matched with Rose Hip on form having been snatched at the line last time over this course and distance, that was a good race for the grade and the finishing time was very solid. She’s a consistent filly and though the yard could be in better form, looks a good bet to go well again and hopefully turn tables on that rival. Interesting that Jim Crowley is back to ride Lihou.. market seems very keen on that one’s chances. (1pt x EW)

• 2.55 - COME ON GIRL 13/8 NB : This seems a good opportunity for Applebys filly to get back on the scoresheet having returned to form a few weeks ago to finish a close second in what looks to be a good race for the card. Coming home late off a strong pace.
She set a speed figure quite far in advance of what all of this lot have achieved recently and returning to Lingfield (where she has figures of 124133 ) I fancy her to go one better today where a similar pace scenario awaits given the presence of 2 or 3 front runners. (1.5pt Win)

📍 UTTOXETER 

• 2.05 - TAP TAP BOOM 3/1 : Alistair Ralph’s charge done considerable well on his first run for over a year to finish a decent 3rd, especially considering the ground probably wasn’t to his liking. He ran we’ll near the head of the pace and took it up to lead at the 4th only being headed at the last. Race fitness soon became telling with nothing more to give on the run in but with that under his belt, these testing conditions much more his bag and having been dropped a couple of lbs.. similar effort may be enough to see him get his head in front and stay there. (1pt Win)

📍 WARWICK
• 1.40 JUNIPER 15/2 : Very interesting this lightly raced 7yo from Whittington’s yard. Who’s clearly had his fair share of problems but not for the lack of promise - He was a place ahead of Mount Ida when he pointed in 2018 and again showed promise when second at Huntingdon back in February. His following 4th may seem like a back step but that race has worked out extremely well with multiple winners boosting the form since. 
It’s risky ofcourse but it makes sense that they’d have him fit whenever he’s able to make an appearance given his obvious temperament.
In what doesn’t look the strongest of contests I’d be willing to give him a chance here. (0.75pt x EW)
