| The Lingfield race is a fillies' maiden at level weights.
Three of them have already run and the best placer has been Dr Wintringham
who was fourth at Kempton in a 'Class 4'. This is a Class 5 but probably
isn't a drop in quality, as opposed to race 'Class' because the field for
that Kempton race didn't look strong. In the field at Kempton Asaint Needs
Brass looked the best type and went like it in the race. However, having
gone clear he faded late and a bunch of others plugging on finished in
a heap. The view would have to be that it was lower quality form and the
question is how much improvement Dr Wintringham has?
On the plus side her trainer has run two on STO this week and both have
made substantial ratings improvements from debut. She ran to a higher level
FTO and improvement of that kind would see her a clear winner. On paddock
review she looked well bought at €5,500 because she was active, ready
and with a good attitude. But, on size and compactness you would expect
her to be a real OR60s rater in the long term. Which means she would set
an ok standard here but not unreachable by a better newcomer. You wouldn't
expect her to show the type of zip the lengthier Percolater did for example.
