Far Rockaway Looking To Get Of The Mark At Lingfield Tomorrow 09/12/20

Far Rockaway (Frankel x Darinza) looks to get of the mark tomorrow at Lingfield in the 1m2f Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Handicap (Class 5) (3yo 0-75) 2.20pm. Only 5 runners are declared and it looks a doable task off her mark 73. She has finished 2nd on her 2 previous starts at Chelmsford and Wolves. Far Rockaway was arguably unlucky at Chelmsford over 1m2f before finding Wolves too sharp having not had the gears to hold an early position, staying on late to grab a never nearer 2nd over 1m. Lingfield is a sharp track but Far Rockaway is back up to 1m2f and with the small field she should be aloud to go forward and get a good early sit. After the Newcastle result with Tomorrows Dream we will have to take into account we are  running her back quick but there simply isn’t another opportunity for her until next month. Ben Curtis rides for us again which is a positive, there is more in her favor than against.
