Fillies’ And Mares’ Championship Tip: Saucy Minx

Cold As Ice dominates the betting for the 1.40 Lingfield but were she to falter anyone could win and from stall 10 life won’t be easy.

Last time out was a perfect example of how things can go wrong. Cold As Ice was short of room at the start and was stuck in rear of a race run at a steady gallop. Not even a blistering 21.12s sectional (only Tryster has gone quicker) was enough to undo the damage.

Granted, the opposition is weaker but there are horses like Saucy Minx who shouldn’t be underestimated. All seven of her wins have come in fillies races and she ran close to a career best when successful over course and distance last month.

She showed a good turn of foot to cover the final 2f in 21.86s and earned a sectional adjusted speed rating of 99. She is drawn on the inside of Cold As Ice and if she manages to get first run on the favourite she could cause an upset.
