The 80/20 Bet: Friday, Lingfield 15:45

Lingfield is the venue for today's 80/20 bet

Nick has no option but to turn to the all weather today, and his Win and Place selection runs at Lingfield later this afternoon...

Today's 80/20 is Lars Krister in the 15.45 at Lingfield. This gelding caught the eye on debut when finishing third to Claude Greenwood at Wolverhampton last June. He met interference a furlong from home but kept on well in the closing stages and finished the race with good energy.

The application of blinkers today should help him focus on the job in hand, and he should go close at a fair price. At present he is trading at 8.415/2 on the exchange.
