LINGFIELD PARK
Race 3 No4 BAROQUE STAR (Each Way)
Trainer: Jack Channon – Jockey: George Bass
We never saw the best of BAROQUE STAR last season when she suffered from a recutting problem with corns. The daughter of Lope De Vega picked up only a minor cheque on her first run for new owners at Kempton last month, but will be straighter now, and can raise her game.
Race 6 No1 FLY THE NEST (Nap)
Trainer: Tony Carroll – Jockey: David Egan
FLY THE NEST wasn’t stopping when scoring over seven furlongs here last week. He’s out for a follow-up under a 4lb penalty but should enjoy stretching out to a mile, and can thwart the hat-trick bid of Divine Messenger.
Race 7 No1 MOUNT MOGAN
Trainer: Laura Mongan – Jockey: Rab Havlin
MOUNT MOGAN has improved from race to race this season, latterly finishing third here last week. The winner, Fly The Nest can endorse his chances by acquitting himself well in the previous race.
KEMPTON PARK
Race 4 No7 AMY SANTIAGO (Nap)
Trainer: Richard Fahey – Jockey: Oisin Orr
Showcasing filly AMY SANTIAGO sprang a 14-1 surprise when open8ng her account at Southwell and now steps into the handicap arena. She is well drawn to get an early handle on affairs, and on only her fourth career start is the one with most progression in this field.
Race 6 No5 STARSONG
Trainer: Mike Appleby – Jockey: Oisin Murphy
Murphy has struck up a good partnership with Appleby since returning to the saddle, and his mount STARSONG can show with another triumph that she’s a well treated filly. She’s only 3lb higher for her recent Chelmsford triumph, and should again take care of business.
