Lingfield Tip: Strictly Carter

Strictly Carter ran a nice race on his return from a near 2-month break and should be able to win a small race this winter. Held-up behind a steady pace he couldn’t quite reel in the leaders but 22.01s for the final 2f was impressive and it was the fastest closing sectional in the race.

Twice a winner over 6f, including off the same mark at Brighton in June, he is capable at this level but will need a strong pace. He should get that with a couple of front-runners in the line-up and from stall 1 he can stalk and pounce in the last 100 yards.
