Bets for Saturday the 25th of January 2014

12.50 Lingfield: Catalinas Diamond @ 15/2 Bet365 - 2pts win

Catalinas Diamond has a big chance here tomorrow off her current mark after two interesting performances since she came back after a break. She travelled well on her penultimate start, which came after four month off the track, but she got badly hampered approaching the home straight and might needed that run anyway. She had the widest draw to overcome in a big field ten days ago at Lingfield and dropped in from there, trailing the field and having an awful lot to do 3f out. She made nice headway on the wide outside though and had to turn wide, which cost ground. She really run on strongly however and finished in manner that suggest she could be poised to win soon. The handicapper thinks differently and relieves her off another 2lb, which makes her extremely well handicapped on form. In fact she's able to run from a mark 7lb below her last winning mark. For that reason I think she should have a cracking chance to find her way back to the winning ways. 


15.45 Lingfield: Shavansky @ 16/1 Bet365 - 1pt win

Interesting performance from Shavansky last time out here at Lingfield over 12f in a hot handicap. He was pretty keen that day and his jockey switched him to the widest outside 7f making a big move to take over the lad soon after. He travelled strongly entering the home straight and led the field till the final furlong marker, when he tired eventually. Still he wasn't far beaten and he confirmed the fine form he showed at Kempton in November where he won really well off 1lb lower mark. He had an off day in his next race but ran to form in his most recent race then again, as stated. He drops to 10f tomorrow, a trip that should certainly suit. He is currently 2 from 2 over course and distance and therefore must have a good shout in this race.
