Southwell 12th Jan (AW)

[chris34]

1.20 Southwell Russian invader ran his best race for a hell of a long while when going down by a short head to surprise stable mate winner last week, the race was ran at an extremely slow time but that is how the surface is ridng so would suggest he copes with the slow surface and actually gets to run off a 5lb lower mark today and Atkinson able to claim a further 2lb aswell! Although not a winner round he has shown plenty of ability on the surface to certainly suggest he is now on an attractive mark. 0.5pt e/w russin invader (if cant get 4/1 or more 0.5pt win) 1.50 Southwell Hard to look past the favourite here, won extremely convincing over this course infront of the very useful Dart, and prior to that beat a useful enough field and on first start for new yard only found Mr plod too much which would suggest this yard have found the key to this horse and could go well under a 6lb penalty and the extra 2f certainly looks a positive move he just appears to be a real stayer! 2pt win russian music 9/4 bet365 3.50 Southwell Personally cant have the favourite, was well backed when last seen here but although some promise failed to really ignite sparks in my eyes (has come for money again tonight), and booking of in form Makin maybe having some affect! Therefore gonna take him on with Whitbarrow who ended a long run of decent efforts with a win over CD and then finished 1 length behind the very well handicapped charles parnell over 6f round here of revised mark and suggested there could be more to come and return to 7f is sure to help and a nice draw to attack from in stall 3 for a front runner. 0.5pt e/w whitbarrow 9/2 bet365

Re: Southwell 12th Jan (AW) 3.50 Southwell Madison Belle ran with promise on her first run back from a break and could go well for John Weymes, who brings his filly down from his North Yorkshire base. She is a four time course winner, twice over this trip, and although her winning has been done in claimers, she has been dropped a couple of pounds in the handicap and may be able to defy this top-weight with Martin Lane's allowance a further help. 16/1 Bet 365.
