Newmarket Tips: Mitigate

Mitigate is pitched into a tough race in the 2.55 Newmarket, she is the lowest rated horse but David Elsworth is a shrewd operator and she goes there with a chance.

Well positioned in a steadily run race at Lingfield, she ran an eye-wateringly fast closing sectional, covering the final 2f in 21.19s. The slack early pace and strong tailwind in the straight contributed to the fast sectional but she was still the quickest in the race by 0.71s.

Clocking the fourth fastest closing sectional at the track from the last 6040 runners marks her out as potentially smart. She has Ryan Moore to assist in the saddle and should run a big race.
