There are several reasons to be optimistic about the chances of GOGO YUBARI in this low-grade event. The four-year-old is a dual C&D winner who joined Tony Carroll in the spring when the daughter of Havana Grey had a rating of 66. She needed time to settle into her new environment, and had dropped to 53 before winning at Windsor in August. She’s been unplaced on all four subsequent starts, but caught the eye in a big way at Wolverhampton last time, moving up to challenge when the gap she was heading for closed abruptly, and looking very unlucky not to be placed at the very least. She hinted strongly that she was about to hit form there, and has since dropped below her last winning mark.
Tony Carroll is ending the season in excellent form, with seven winners from 42 runners in the past fortnight, and backing all those runners blind would have put punters ahead by £437.50 to a tenner stake at SP or £947.60 at Betfair SP. Carroll has a 30% strike-rate at Lingfield when teaming up with Rossa Ryan so everything seems aligned for a big run from Gogo Yubari today.
13:12 Lingfield – Class 6 (0-60) Handicap 6f1y
There is no need to desert the Tony Carroll bandwagon, as he has a decent chance of a double on the card in another low-grade sprint handicap.
UNDER CURFEW goes well for a female apprentice, with eight of his nine career wins coming under a 5lb or 7lb claimer, and six of those have been for female apprentices claiming 7lb. I could point out that all of those jockeys were called Molly or Mollie, but that might be pushing the stats a little too far, albeit true.
Molly Gunn rode Under Curfew to win a similar race to this in February at Wolverhampton, and she gets the leg-up for the first time since riding him on his next race, when found out by a penalty. He’s now dropped 5lb below his last winning mark, has scored over C&D in the past, and is attractively weighted on the balance of this season’s form, so is worth backing with his stable in such fine form.
