ICONIC SKY 7/1 Lingfield 4.05
This filly has been brought along fairly gently from what I have seen so far. On her second outing she was a close enough third in a four runner race at this track. She looked like going very close but ran very green in the closing stages, hanging in and changing her legs a number of times in up the finishing straight. She finished only half a length behind an experienced Mark Johnston gelding who is rated 82. It is quite amazing therefore that she has been given a mark of only 65!
At Kempton she was beaten a fair distance by the impressive Gosden horse, EYESHINE. That day she was given what can only be described as a tender ride.
Tomorrow she steps up to two miles and whilst her pedigree doesnt exactly scream out and out stayer she has looked highly likely to improve for a trip.
The yard shows a £32.25 level stakes profit on Lingfields AW and championship seeking Jim Crowley has a £62.18 profit when riding for the yard and a 29% strike rate. He has obviously spotted this ones chance and bagged himself the ride.
