Lingfield Race 3 - Bet 10 Get 40 With Betmgm Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
SOVEREIGN BAY (3) showed sharp early pace making debut battling on well for second beaten 0.8L over 1600m at Newcastle. Open to improvement and capable of breaking through. CAPTAIN FOX (1) went close before a five month break ending last campaign with a placing over 1400m at Newmarket. Also placed when fresh here last season. Hard to beat if ready to go. KOKUSHOKU (2) ran a solid race debuting with a second over 1400m at Wolverhampton beaten 5L. Promising and could progress. LADY VANGUARD (4) returns from six months off having ended last prep running eighth over 1600m at Haydock Park. Cannot be overlooked.

Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) September 26 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Enoch with 58kg at $8. First up last campaign second of 11 at this track September 4 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Gizmo carrying 60.5kg at $3.30. Could prove too smart for these.

First-starter by Mondialiste out of Bakoura. Likely to be better for this experience.
