Lingfield Tips: Desert Strike
Plenty of pace to aim at and 10lbs lower than when last successful at the track.
Racing off a mark 10lbs lower than when successful over course and distance last January, Desert Strike looks overpriced to win the 3.00 Lingfield.
Recent starts suggest the 6-year-old is finding his form for new trainer Conor Dore, running his best race of the winter 21 days ago when second over course and distance. The key to this horse is a strong pace and he should get that today with several speedballs in the line-up.
Jim Crowley is also an eye-catching jockey booking. He rarely rides for Conor Dore, but with a level stakes profit of £54.95 over the last 5 seasons at Lingfield he is one of the best jockeys on the all-weather track.
At 6/1 (William Hill), Desert Strike can finish our year on a high.
