Lingfield Race 2 - Happy 50th Birthday Joanne Baker Classified Stakes
PANTHERE NOIR (4) arrives as an experienced three-year old who has made the frame last twice with a 2400m handicap third at Epsom Downs preceding a 6L runner-up effort attempting a 2800m handicap at this venue last week. Top chance. ZAFAAN (1) scored by a neck among this company attempting the journey at Yarmouth prior to a 7L fourth in a handicap tackling the same track and trip twenty four days ago. Rates highly. LAPIDARIST (3) showed a good level of form recording a fourth in a 1600m handicap at Windsor a month ago. Might feature. PRIVATE PROJECT (5) holds placed form on the all-weather at this circuit. Next best.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 7 at Great Yarmouth on July 8 over 2000m, 7 len behind Divot with 58kg at $3.50. The run before that won by a neck at Great Yarmouth June 26 over 2000m defeating Ibiza Lights with 61kg at $3.80. Great chance to atone.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on July 25 over 2800m, 6 len behind Sixty Plus with 51.5kg at $5.50. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Epsom Downs on July 1 over 2400m, 8 len behind Sarangpur with 52kg at $34. Capable of giving a tremendous sight.

Most recently led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1600m, 10 len behind Fallacious Promise with 57kg at $51. The run before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 10 at this track on June 18 over 2000m, 9 len behind Shifra with 56kg at $201. Likely to struggle.
