14.00 Lingfield: Waabel @ 10/1 Blue Square - 2pts win

I thought Waabel showed a tremendous performance here at Lingfield in a claimer three weeks ago when he pushed forward from a wide draw and set a suicidal pace from the front. Yet he looked still strong turning for home, though got eventually tired in the final furlong and was swooped by the field, he still fought back however and was even hampered in the closing stages, yet he was only beaten by 2¼ lengths in the end which shows what fine performance this actually was. I think if his jockey gets the fractions right tomorrow Waabel must go very close here despite having to overcome a wide draw.



15.10 Lingfield: Rugosa @ 10/3 Paddy Power - 5pts win

Lightly raced 4yo filly that hugely impressed me in her most recent outing here at Lingfield when just the overconfident ride of her jockey cost the win I suppose. She was held up in rear, way too long for my liking and was in an impossible position turning for home, yet was travelling best of all. The front-running winner got a really easy time in front though, set a dawdling pace and suddenly kicked 3f out on, but wasn't really taken seriously but never stopped eventually. Rugosa in contrast wasn't only way off the pace turning for home but also encountered traffic problems. Finally in the clear she finished like a train in the manner of a horse that has quite a few pounds in hand. This was her first start since August so she probably will be even better tomorrow with this run under herb elt and as she showed some nice performances earlier the year already I really fancy her strongly to win this race.v
