🐎🐴LINCOLN REVIEW🐴🐎 Tight finish between URBAN LION and ROGUE DIPLOMAT, with 5 lengths covering the first 10 home a handicappers dream result lol. A potiental draw bias however as out of the first 5 home, 4 of them were drawn in stall 2,3,4 and 5 recpectively. The only odd one out in this was TRIBAL CHIEF who came from stall 21. TRIBAL CHIEF also came from the rear like i thought he would along with ROGUE DIPOLMAT, the others finishing in the top 5 were all up with the pace. I will defintley be taking TRIBAL CHIEF moving forward as he was both drawn on the wrong side and came from off the pace. My selections VALVANO 6th - was up with the gallop and had every chance, may have ran up the back of BOTANICAL inside the final furlong, but was never closer than at the finish. SHOUT 9th - Was another who came from the rear and clashed with TRIBAL CHIEF 2 out and run flattened out. CERTAINLY TAKING TRIBAL CHIEF OUT OF THE RACE AND WILL BE BACKING HIM NEXT TIME OUT. BE BACK WEDNESDAY WITH MY NEXT WEEKEND PREVIEW x.com/itvracing/stat…
