12.50 Southwell Exopuntia has run well since winning over CD in the middle of the december off a 7lb lower mark, ran creditably but didnt put up much of a fight round here last time out behind the Lock Master on thursday. Zarius beat Powerful Presence last time out and receieves lumps more weight again this time but that was Powerful Presences first start for new yard and first after a break and has clearly come on for that run having won the next 2 times out winning super easily, a further 5lb rise in the weights today sure to make things tougher yet again but still looks unexposed and open to more improvement on this surface and therefore looks hard to beat. 0.5pt win Powerful Presence 3.35 Southwell Follow the flog has a tendency to pop up at a nice price every now and again and did just that last time out in a 6 runner race round here over a mile, race unfolded well for him with himself and runner up coming from a long way off the pace unlikely to unfold so well today in this better field and also concerns over his poor starting at the moment over this shorter trip but has won off a mark this high on turf before so could have a chance but for me Conry shaped well enough behind Dubai Hills last time out just 2 lengths behind (Dubai was perhaps idling in front and was heavily eased at line anyhow) only 5lb higher since winning at wolverhampton in the autumn and has won off a 3lb higher mark on turf so could potentially have something in hand. The other that interests me is Transonic who absolutely loves it round here and does stay further than this which often helps round here and has 4 CD wins to his name and rarely runs a bad race around here. Still 3lb above last winning mark but is the sort of horse that could easily pick up a race off a career higher mark especially in current form in better races than this and yard appear in good form! 0.3pt win Conry 10/3 bet365 0.2pt win Transonic 5/1 bet365
