Southwell 31st Aug

[chris34]

6.40 Southwell Sir Walter Raleigh really failed to set the world alight last time out and a big concern stable quickly reaching for just about everything with him in tongue tie, visor and longer trip all for a fibresand debut is a major concern at a short enough price. Bivouac has a good record around here with 3 wins from 8 runs and is 1 from 1 over CD, stamina looked stretch last time out and should go better back at this trip and dropped 3lb and still shaped as if in form for all it was too far last time out, yard also in good form. 1pt win bivouac 10/3 bet365 7.10 Southwell Westwood loves it round here with several placed efforts from 7 runs round here and made it look a walk in park when winning over CD 3 starts back and ran a solid 2nd off revised mark last time out up another 1lb and gets a nice low draw, yard put in a couple of big price winners recently and a 2nd place from 4 runners and couldnt be in better form. 1pt win westwood 10/3 vc

Re: Southwell 31st Aug 7:10 Southwell Bookiesindex Boy 1pt EW - 14/1 (SportingBet) Grudge 0.5pt EW - 20/1 (VC) Think these prices are good. Put Bookiesindexboy in this thread last time out when he finished second to Ace of Spies, cruising up on the bridle in typical fashion but not finding much. He has found himself behind a few of these including favourite Westwood, but on that occasion he was conceding a lot of weight, and they meet on levels today. Stephen Craine takes the ride once again, has won on this horse before over this c+d. The price is too big for this horse at Southwell. Also think Grudge is overpriced. Has won twice at Southwell over this trip and is usually always there or thereabouts. Hasn't won off a handicap mark this high but I think he can, has put in some very creditable efforts on marks of 73, and once went down by less than a length off today's mark. Shane Kelly is riding pretty well and for the amount of horses the stable send out they're doing well, 4 of the 7 horses in the last fortnight have finished in the first three, with two wins.
