Lingfield Race 3 - William Hill Lingfield Derby Trial Stakes (Listed)
MALTESE CROSS (6) landed a novice event under a penalty at Newbury three weeks ago on what looks to be a really informative contest given a couple of those in behind that day have run since and performed respectably. Looks exciting and could prove hard to beat. MAHO BAY (5) remained unbeaten both starts while looking visually impressive at Newmarket three weeks ago. Well worth his place in this Derby trial. ISAAC NEWTON (4) needed the run at Newmarket competing in the Craven meeting. Might be a different proposition here. BAY OF BRILLIANCE (3) was a comfortable winner under a penalty at Redcar in October. Interesting.

Second run back. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after five months won by a neck at Lingfield All Weather March 20 over 2000m defeating Al Azd carrying 59.5kg at $6. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Goodwood on September 24 over 2000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Bay Of Brilliance carrying 60.5kg at $5. Others seem to have his measure.

Third race start. Promising on debut as favourite; came from midfield and won by 6 len at Kempton Park All Weather December 17 over 2220m defeating Veritable with 60.5kg at $1.80. Went for a break before returning favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Newmarket (Rowley) April 16 over 2000m defeating Amadeus Mozart carrying 62kg at $2.10. Big chance to register the hat-trick. In form and looks a top chance again.
