Southwell 31st March (AW)

[chris34]

3.30 Southwell Competitive at tope of handicap with several of these closely matched and extremely weak at the bottom end! I am gonna take a chance on Mr Funshine to build on his penultimate start when winning quite convingcingly over CD on penultimate start never given a chance last time when badly hampered at wolverhampton. 0.25pt e/w mr funshine (if 5/1 or over if not just 0.5pt win) 4.00 Southwell Interesting little handicap with several of these have a bit to answer as to why they have been off the track for so long but they bring some useful form and represent some strong stables but might worth chancing the course speciliast Lucky Punt who has had a winter break since winning his last start over this course winning by 5lengths easily, up a further 6lb but appears to go strength to strength round here with 6 starts winning 5 and 2nd on his other and has gone well fresh before. 1pt win lucky punt 11/4 pp

Re: Southwell 31st March (AW) 3.30 Southwell - Mr Funshine - EW at 10/1 BOG with Betfred This one is drifting in the betting but has pretty decent form, having won it's last 2 races over this CD. Flopped last time at Wolvesm, but was hampered and eased that day Up 4 lbs since last win, which seems a lot for a neck or head, but he never seems to win by more than a neck or head, he's one of those kind of horses who comes late and seems to just get up on the line. Bit worried about this market drift, 10/1 seems a huge price, tho' to be fair he's only 11/2 with Laddies and maybe it's just a couple of firms wanting to balance their books. Whatever, 10/1 is a cracking price unless there's something wromg with him..............
