BBOTD - Tuesday the 26th of February...

Spin Again - must win on Tuesday
15.40 Lingfield: Spin Again @ 3/1 Bet365 - 6pts win

Spin Again looked really unlucky just a few days ago here at Lingfield. He travelled nicely, and Hayley Turner looked to have loads of horse beneath her in the home straight but she found it difficult to find a gap for Spin Again to squeeze through and win the race, yet Spin Again finished really well under a strong hands and heels ride when a bit of space finally opened up in the closing stages. 
 
This horse was already very interesting for me some weeks ago, when running eye-catchingly from higher marks, so it's very interesting to see that despite this strong recent effort the handicapper decided to drop him 2lb, down to a mark of 60. Spin Again won of this sort of mark or of an even 6lb higher mark twice last year, so it's fair to assume that he's well handicapped now from a pure form perspective, but the visual impression of his most recent run, when he dropped already down to 62, very much confirms this suspicion. He drops down to the 7f trip tomorrow, which shouldn't be a problem as he's a 4-times course and distance winner (from nine starts). I'd be very surprised if he doesn't win easily tomorrow.
