Tuesday the 11th of December...

15.30 Lingfield: Honest Strike @ 5/1 Bet365 - 3pts win

Honest Strike was massively impressive at Southwell three days ago when he raced well off the pace trailing at the end of the field but made very wide on the outside of the field some impressive headway from 5f out. He stayed on super well in the closing stages and almost won it on the line, coming from last to first but just failed in a photo! Obviously it's hard to compare Southwell form with other tracks but this run definitely confirmed that he is very much back in form and probably down to a pretty handy mark. He has form on All-Weather apart of Southwell as he finished 3rd in maiden at Wolverhampton two years ago, a form that worked out well btw. He won after that a maiden at Southwell and went up allot in the mark, racing of 82 at the highest, had then a break of one year, didn't show anything, had then again a break of 1/4 of a year while appearing this year in May at a racetrack again, he finished well beaten in a couple of runs though until the mentioned Southwell run where he finally slipped down to a mark of 50. He wasn't raised in the mark for his photo-finish 3rd by the handicapper so that means he really should have a big chance here tomorrow in a very poor race.
