Southwell 12th Dec (AW)

[chris34]

Got to work tomorrow so have to put these up tonight some stakes may change depending on prices will try and atleast update one thread from my mobile on any changes to stakes etc. 1.10 Southwell Shadows lengthening won yet again today for the five timer although maybe not winning convincingly his jockey didn’t really make too much effort and appeared to still have something only concern would be this race coming to soon but even so the 6 timer looks quite likely on these terms. To cover the bet/or if he doesn’t run gonna also put forward Ibrox who posted a career best last time out winning by 4 1/2lengths over CD up 7lb doesn’t look that harsh and still remains reasonably lightly raced and shows a real liking for southwells specialists surface no run for 46 days no concern having won last time out after 42 days off! Sadly have got to work tomorrow so this is how this bet will line up: 1pt win shadows lengthening and 0.25pt win ibrox (if shadows lengthening runs) 0.75pt win ibrox (if shadows lengthening doesn’t run) 2.20 Southwell Iam williams horses are in reasonable form and this one has come to him and has finally showed him some promise with a decent enough 3rd over CD last time out runs off a 1lb lower mark and visor replaces cheekpieces for first time although never won a handicap he has been rated as high as 80 and just rated 51 now. 0.5pt win rockfield lodge 2.55 Southwell Louisiade has dropped of the radar as it were having dropped to 43 and now gonna be 2lb out of most if not all handicaps but there were signs of promise last time out at lingfield over a mile from a far from ideal draw bit better draw today and only second run for new yard he is now 13lb lower than last win in a handicap and if anywhere near back to some of his level best he could go well especially with the king of sand in the saddle Catlin. 0.5pt e/w louisiade 3.30 Southwell General tufto continues to run creditably on this surface but often looks to want further than a mile. Where as wing diva has looked to want shorter but maybe not this short, nonetheless has to be respected on only second try at this trip (first try was racecourse debut on turf) clearly goes well around here and handicapper hasn’t budged much on what looks a fair mark for fair efforts and with Smart in good form this horse may provide him with another good run! 0.5pt e/w wing diva

Re: Southwell 12th Dec (AW) 1.10 Southwell Shadows Lengthen for me too. He keeps winning so rapidly that the Racing Post are struggling to keep their database up to date with all of his wins.:loon Clearly loves fibresand and this sort of trip and claimer has got to know the horse well.
