RP course notes:
BROTHER TIGER, one place behind Random Success over C&D on his reappearance, was this time allowed to dominate through modest early fractions and was always holding on. Everything went his way, but this was only his 11th start.

The final time was 0.43secs quicker than the second division, but they went a steadier early pace in this race. Both winners made all, and here are Brother Tiger´s splits with Clearing´s sectionals in brackets: 14.14 (13.92), 11.18 (11.05), 10.73 (10.63), 10.60 (10.90), 11.25 (11.83).

20Dec14   Lin 5St/Slw C5Hc 2K 7/9 (4½L, Dreams Of Glory9-3) p 7/2 52

RP course notes:
ARCTIC LYNX, who had won a couple of claimers this winter, was always well positioned near the pace and stayed on strongly to record his first handicap win since July 2013. Things did pan out well for him here and he is not certain to back this up, but he was rated 82 at his best last year and should be able to strike again off a revised mark.

Malaysian Boleh:
23Feb15   Wol 5St C5Hc 3K 2/7 (½L, Arctic Lynx8-12) 5/1 73
13Feb15   Lin 7St C6Cl 2K 1/5 (2¼L, Ortac Rock8-13) 3/1 59
28Jan15   Cfd 8St C4Hc 5K 6/8 (3½L, Forceful Appeal9-3) p 14/1 58
21Jan15   Lin 8St C5Hc 3K 7/11 (3¾L, Franco’s Secret9-7) p 12/1 57
31Dec14   Lin 8St C5Hc 1K 3/9 (½L, Franco’s Secret9-6) 12/1 59
18Dec14   Kem 7St C5Hc 3K 10/12 (7¼L, Jungle Bay9-6) 8/1 46

Malaysian Boleh hit a personal best RPR of 82 when winning a 7f Lingfield claimer on his final run for Simon Dow last time. A drop back to 5f was a concern and he took a while to pick up before finishing well to go close off a career-high mark. This was a big run over a trip sharper than ideal and he could be a major force back up in distance.

Improver’s: 08:15 Stellarta & Oriental Relation

Stellarta:

08Dec14   Kem 6St C4Hc 5K 6/11 (2¼L, Dont Have It Then9-2) 9/4F 58

20Oct14   Wdr 5Hy C5Hc 3K 4/8 (3¼L, Perfect Pastime8-13) 8/1 53

RP course notes:
STELLARTA, back from a break following a slightly disappointing run here last time, had a nice trip and picked up well to run down the long-time leader well inside the last. This was more like it, and she clearly thrives off a good gallop.

Oriental Relation:
25Feb15   Kem 6St C5Hc 2K 2/12 (½L, Stellarta9-5) v 6/1 83
19Feb15   Cfd 6St C5Hc 3K 1/12 (nk, Flexible Flyer9-6) b 9/2 65
03Feb15   Sth 6St C4Hc 5K 4/9 (12L, Ace Master8-12) b 100/30 40
13Jan15   Sth 5St C4Hc 5K 4/10 (4L, Scarborough9-4) b 3/1 51
04Jan15   Sth 6St/Slw C5Hc 3K 2/8 (1L, Showtime Star9-5) b 5/1 68

Oriental Relation made a bold bid to make every yard, setting a good pace out in front. He was unlucky to find one too good as he held off the rest comfortably.
