Horse Racing: Super Sleuth ready to end long barren run in Lingfield's listed race

It is almost unthinkable that Brian Meehan's filly has yet to get her nose in front after ten tries. But that is the glum reality ahead of her outing in this Listed race, which has attracted a rather humdrum gathering given the prize-money on offer.

Super Sleuth's engagement in this one-mile affair therefore looks a logical piece of placing on behalf of the Meehan camp.

That said, the daughter of Selkirk still arrives in Surrey with plenty to prove. She has not really kicked on from her salad days, in which the filly finished a narrow second in the Fred Darling and third in the 1000 Guineas.

There is, however, a degree of optimism that the old fires still burn brightly, even though more was probably expected of her at Leicester last time out.

Super Sleuth was undoubtedly unsuited by the stop-start gallop on her return after 118 days, finishing two lengths behind the smart Long Lashes.

There is fulsome pace running throughout this race, though, so that should not be an issue. Meehan's charge was well supported at Leicester so any significant market move should be seized upon, with her ability to act on the Fibresand an obvious likelihood given her rich American pedigree.

The other Listed heat on the card, the EBF Cockney Rebel First Crop Success River Eden Fillies' Stakes, can fall to Rosika. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has bags of stamina and has shown this summer that Listed glory should be cosily within her radar.

After all, the Park Hill at Doncaster was mooted as a potential next port of call when she turned in a stout staying display to finish second in the Ebor at York in August.

The Sakhee filly should be suitably revved-up following a late-summer breather and has enough class to pocket this prize.

Less glittering action at Wolverhampton, meanwhile, where Desert Recluse looks the solution to the Bet Asian Handicaps - Betdaq Handicap.

Glengarra is also a worthy ally for the Moreton-In-Marsh Handicap Chase at Stratford.

Although he is now 13, those who watched in awe as Monet's Garden jumped for fun at Aintree on Saturday will concur that bold chasers can often improve with age.

While Liam Corcoran's representative is most definitely not of that calibre, he is tough and genuine and often bullies younger, less streetwise, rivals in races of this nature.

His honourable second at Worcester last time out, admittedly in a poor race that has not worked out at all well, also served notice of his well-being.

With Glengarra still 7lb lower than his last winning mark over fences, similar front-running tactics can yield much riches in Warwickshire.
