Southwell 10/11

[Spooner]

Southwell 13:10 - Veronicas Way (Each-Way) This looks a nightmare of a race to solve and ill go for a small e/w bet on Veronicas Way at a massive 50/1. Running over a mile trip which should suit her today. Has 1 winning performence in 11 runs and she really hasen't shown much in her other runs. Running for her new stable today and maybe that change could reproduce some of the form that she showed when winning at Thirsk. @ 50/1 Stan James (b.o.g)

Re: Southwell 10/10 What a terrible card! 1.10 Time to Regret could be up to taking this and as top-weight is, in theory, the best horse in the race. He's placed here before and even though most of his wins have come on polytrack, he did win recently at Thirsk with some cut in the ground to suggest he should cope okay with fibresand. He runs off a mark of 59 here, which is 4 lbs higher than that win two runs ago, but he has won off 58 on the all-weather before so I don't think it is beyond him. The form of his Wolverhampton second last time out has been boosted by Shunkawakhan (won off 60) and Beetuna (won off 67) since and he may sneak a place in a poor race. 2.45 Another dire affair but one that looks potentially well treated at the weights is Comrade Cotton. John Ryan's gelding has been running quite consistently lately and went down by just a head at Kempton in October off an 8 lb higher mark. The handicapper appears to have been lenient on him since dropping him to 52 for this and he ran into a place last time out behind My Mate Mal, albeit in a seller. He's only got the one career win to his name but it was off 11 lb higher than he's rated today though, and having shown an ability to handle a slow surface I think he is worth a little bet at 12/1.
