Lingfield Race 3

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Ebf Restricted Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $20,295

APHRA BEHN (11) aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win after placing second at Salisbury then lost out by a short-head to fill the same spot in a Newcastle AW maiden. Could go one better. ARDAD STEVE (1) missed the frame producing a debutante fourth at Great Yarmouth. Unable to improve running sixth in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom Downs last month. Interesting now down in grade. DEIRA MOON (4) rates the pick of those debuting. Bred by Naval Crown out of Nurse Nightingale and worth giving close consideration. COOL KING (2) might progress having finished seventh contesting a novice at Wolverhampton on sole career appearance.

Having third race start. At debut, 4th of 8 at Great Yarmouth on May 20 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Peaceful Warrior carrying 60.5kg at $12. Last start 6th of 13 at Epsom Downs on June 5 over 1200m, 6 len behind Hickory Lad with 58kg at $11. Looks very well placed here so looks hard to beat.
