TOP trainer Dave Robartson came to Albion Park on Thursday night thinking he would win two races.He gave littermates Beyond The Call and Miss Hot Gossip great chances in their races and considered the bitch close to a “good thing”.But both were beaten, Beyond The Call into second and Miss Hot Gossip when checked badly early and then flashing home.But Robartson also came to Albion Park on Thursday night with the much underrated Lindale Guest, even though he believed the son of Lindale Blue-Roshana Reason had a task in front of him to beat hot favourite Leica Paper Boy.But Lindale Guest did just that sweeping to the front at the turn out of the back straight and then holding off a late charge by Leica Paper Boy to win by two and a quarter lengths.Tad Smarter fought on well for third a half length away.“Every week he runs 30.30 around here, but tonight he got the luck and won,” said Robartson. “He’s an underrated dog.”That was win 13 for Lindale Guest and his eighth at headquarters.“Box eight suited him because everything jammed up inside him and Leica Paper Boy was slow away and got held up in traffic,” said Robartson.“It was what we needed to happen, and it did.”Leica Paper Boy flashed home late but too late.Robartson part-owns Lindale Guest with long-time friend Lindsay Archer in WA.“The dog could eventually go to WA in the twilight of his career, but that won’t happen for a while because he is racing so well.“He’s such a great chaser.”
