Southwell 21st Feb (AW)

Looking more than likely I have got to work atleast tomorrow morning so will put these up tonight! 2.50 Southwell Miss Christophene looked as if she was coming to hand again after a small break last time out and up 2lb for that effort and although now 2lb higher than last win round here she has won twice round here and still lightly raced in a weak race should hold a solid claim in this field. 1pt win miss christophene 3.20 Southwell Eseej is hard to predict these days but looks in good heart and is now 2lb lower than last win over this course but never won over this far before. Calculating is another in fine form stringing together 4 2nds in a row but doesnt look to be improving where as Dart is clearly improving who won twice in row and just found the well handicapped russian music too good on last time out 1lb lower today and a small break should have freshened him up (ran as if he was in need of a break) 1pt win dart 3.55 Southwell Decent looking handicap with several of these regular yard sticks around here. Ishiadancer bolted up at wolverhampton last week but 12lb rise and a swtich to fibresand looks a big ask and maybe worth just watching at a short price. Bel Cantor needs to get an uncontested lead which is far from guaranteed here and 6lb penalty for good win during the week is tough. Transmission won handicap off a 6lb lower mark in january but handicapper has since been in control. That leaves Mozyada who was a good second 5 days ago over a mile over this course to an improving/regaing form sort and is actually 2lb lower today and although step down to 7f not ideal should nonetheless go well. The other interest has to be Hits only jude who has a good record at this course and is another that is yet to win over 7f but again was a good second last time out on same mark today. 0.5pt win mozyada 4/1 bet365 0.25pt e/w hits only jude 6/1 bet365 (would expect this to have a bigger sp than current price IMO) 5.00 Southwell Several of these you have to look a bit deeper to give them a chance with several of them coming here fresh and have previously gone well here. The most interesting has to be Island Chief from the superbly in form Kevin Ryan yard who do well with fresh sorts he won a handicap in good/soft conditions at musselburgh in summer off a 1lb higher mark with Amy on board, horse none to consistent but potential chance in a weak questionable race. 0.5pt e/w island chief 13/2 bet365

Re: Southwell 21st Feb (AW) 3:55 Southwell: Bennelong 2pts win 1pt place 10/1 Bet365 Bennelong won a maiden here last October when ridden by Frankie Dettori. He has some reasonable polytrack form and on his first outing back on fibresand since that victory he could go close especially if the visor has the desired effect. David Evans is in good form.
