Lingfield Race 5 - Win 250,000 With Betmgm's Golden Goals Handicap
FORCEFUL LADY (7) has been going well this AW season with a 1400m runner-up effort in a Wolverhampton nursery preceding a good 2.5L fifth over 1200m at Chelmsford City AW a month ago. Worth considering in this grade. Big claims. ATHENIAN SPIRIT (1) showed plenty of ability two starts back running 1.5L second contesting a 1400m nursery at Wolverhampton AW. Open to further improvement. The unexposed BLUE MOUNTAINS (9) was not disgraced last month posting a 5L sixth in a 1700m nursery at Wolverhampton AW. Rates an interesting chance. MISS AYALA (6) found success attempting this journey at Chelmsford City AW three starts back. Next best.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Chelmsford on December 11 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Saeculamation carrying 57kg at $5.50. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 9 at Wolverhampton on November 25 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Crown The Future carrying 58.5kg at $17. Has ability and is one of the leading chances.
