14.20 Lingfield: Time Square @ 3/1 Bet365 - 4pts win
Time Square was in pretty good form this winter, winning twice in February at Kempton. He looks still in good shape and on a winnable mark judged on his most recent performance at Kempton, when he was pulling very hard early on and made then a bold move halfway through the race taking up the lead and increasing the already generous looking pace. He took the field into the home straight travelling very well and was still able to finish the race in 3rd position despite using so much energy before already. He remains on the same mark for this performance and gets his chance now in a poor apprentice handicap. His ability to race handily should help at a track like Lingfield very much, as the danger is always here that the race is run slowly and then it's certainly an advantage to be ridden close to the pace.
16.40 Lingfield: Rocket Rob @ 12/1 VC - 2pts win
I was keen on Rocket Rob two weeks ago when he was a non-runner eventually though, but still think this horse looks very interesting and should have a decent chance tomorrow in this race. Wrote the last time:
I thought his most recent performance was an absolute massive one. He had the widest draw to overcome what usually is not an advantage over 5f at Wolverhampton and he also missed the break, trailing the field early on by a couple of lengths, having been hard pushed to get back into contention. He suddenly appeared to be back on the bridle from around 3f out and travelled well enough entering the home straight. He made impressive headway then until getting a clear run denied over 1f out. He had to switch to the right, lost balance and momentum as a result, but picked up again and finished strongly. I think only a horse in good form can finish a race in a way like that under these sort of circumstances.
