Flat Racing 27th Dec

[chris34]

Finally some racing but struggle to find anything so just the one and nothing exciting neither! 12.10 Southwell Shostakovich looks modest at best now with the handicapper looking to have him in his grip now after a few promising efforts around here. That cant be said about Even Stevens until perhaps today, he looks hard to beat having absolutely bolted up last 2 outings over CD on first start for Dandy Nicholls who has been in good form with his new satelitte yard. 16lb rise might look harsh but didnt look like stopping last time out and could easily defy a hefty rise in what looks a modest nursery. 2pt win Even Stevens EVS hills

Re: Flat Racing 27th Dec 12:10 Southwell: Reachtothestars 1pt win 33/1 & 1pt place 4.2/1 Betfair Even Stevens is on a four timer and even though he is up in the weights as a result he looks likely to run well. However, at a much bigger price Reachtothestars might be worth an each way interest on his fibresand debut. With a pedigree that would suggest this surface will suit, he is also handled by inform trainer Mick Quinlan. He picked up a decent prize in Italy earlier this month and his last couple of runners at Kempton ran as well as could be expected.
