Lingfield Race 8 - BetMGM Supports Safer Gambling Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
SHAVKAT (1) First up after a break of 38 weeks. Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 4 1/2L last time at Doncaster and matched against a less competitive field. Has to be strongly considered. COMPRADOR (5) Came in 3rd last time at Newcastle and up against weaker rivals. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Must respect. CAVIAR COWBOY (4) Ran well when 2nd last time at Kempton and matched against less formidable competition. Has plenty of early speed. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Can win this. WESTPORT (8) George Boughey trained 3yo first starter by Blue Point and drawn nicely. Watch betting.

Fresh from a break of 38 weeks. Rattled home nicely into 3rd last time at Doncaster and back in an easier grade. First start for a new trainer. Good chance in this.

Started $151.00 and unimpressive effort when 8th last run at Southwell but dropping in class. Gets back and needs luck. Not threatening these.

Was competitive when 2nd last time at Kempton and has been racing in stronger company. Should muster plenty of early speed. Strong prospects in this race.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Newcastle and matched against lesser competition. Placed at every start this preparation. Must be considered here.

George Boughey trained 3yo by Blue Point having first race appearance and has a good draw. Watch for a sign in the market.

Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last start at Chelmsford and competing at a lower class. Could not recommend in this.
