Lopinot, held up on the inside was going well, but he was never going to get to those who got 1st run and didn't look hard pushed once the jockey knew he was beaten. He could be one to look for in a similar contest in the coming weeks.
Carmela Maria got a very similar ride from her inside berth and never threatened after contesting front rank early on, but to be honest, didn't look good enough in this slightly better race.
Merlin's Dancer was given the most disappointing ride from today's selections!
A confirmed front runner, Shane Kelly dropped him in to around 5th place from the off and didn't make his move until the furlong pole where he had to switch wide round the leaders and basically had no chance.
He is entered for the Epsom Dash on June 6th, a race he finished 2nd in last season after filling the same spot here at Lingfield. Perhaps that is his main objective, and is one to note as he should get into that off a similar mark as last season.
All The Aces was declared a non-runner after the text message and website were updated, (in what turned out to be a farcical race) and the only consolation was the 1 point returned, on a day which accounts for a 2 point loss.
