Lingfield Race 4 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Classified Stakes (Div 1)
Plenty of pace forecast. FIRST ENCOUNTER (3) turned form around when scoring by a neck over 1700m at Wolverhampton eleven days ago. Will be fine on the front end here with Luke Morris in the saddle. Looks hard to beat. GALETTE (4) bounced back with an encouraging third last week. That form will need improving if she's to be winning. EYE OF THE WATER (2) offered glimpses of promise lately and can step forward from his fifth place finish a fortnight ago. Worth giving close consideration. RAINBOW SIGN (5) looked out of sorts this winter. The previous course winner cannot be ruled out with Hollie Doyle on board.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Southwell All Weather on January 13 over 1400m, 9 len behind Call Glory with 59kg at $67. Second run from a spell 3rd of 10 at Wolverhampton on February 6 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Von Krolock carrying 61kg at $81. Might need one more.
