Lingfield Tips: Marjong

Has a poor strike rate for a horse of her ability but the ease in grade and a solid gallop could see her fall in.

Marjong is a fiendishly difficult horse to win with, she’s only entered the winner’s enclosure once in 20 starts but I’m seduced by her sectional charms.

Last time out she was the only horse to run the final 2f in under 23s as she finished runner-up to Glastonberry.

As per usual, she was left with too much ground to make up but we can’t use that as an excuse because that is her running style.

What gives me hope is that she races in a class 5 handicap. Most of 2014 she spent in a higher grade and better horses are generally quicker, which means she struggles to stay on terms.

With 12 runners, they should go a decent gallop but one that Marjong should be able to track from stall 3. If Seb Sanders can keep her in touch, she can swoop late and collect the prize.
