I like the chances of Trulie Good in the basement Classified race at 5.30 at Southwell tonight, currently 12/1 but wouldn’t surprise me if she were to be backed throughout the day. Owner trained and Bowring often does well at Southwell. Ran well in two handicaps at Southwell in Jan, firstly over 5f when only beaten 3/4 length by Street Life (who had a better draw that time, and reopposes tonight) and then a short head over 6f. Then ran in a classified, however that was over a mile so can put a line through that. Same weights with Street Life tonight but only because of that ones jockey claim and is also better drawn than SL tonight. There looks like there will be a lot of pace on too which will only help Trulie Good's chances as we know she gets further. These Classified races are generally full of out of form, low grade horses so it is quite unusual to see one with recent consistent form figures (224) at a double figure price dropping into this grade.

As luck would have it, Hugh Taylor has put this one up about 15 mins after my post so no longer 12s!
