Lingfield: Temple Road
Shaped as if coming back into form when a fast finishing but luckless fifth at the track nine days ago. Has a 33% strike-rate over C&D when racing in class 5/6 handicaps.
Temple Road is an old favourite who can round off a year with a win in the 2.55 Lingfield. When racing in class 5/6 handicaps his course and distance record is 114132451241365 or in simple terms he has a 33% strike-rate.
Last time out he was a fast finishing fifth and would have been much closer granted a clear run. That is pretty much typical of Temple Road, he is capable of fast closing sectionals (quicker than the grade he races in) but is a hostage to fortune. Stall 10 isn’t great but considering he will be closing from the rear it shouldn’t make too much difference.
