Southwell Race 3 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
KURIOS LADY (4) finished third over 1600m at this track last start following a break. Looks well placed to improve second time out. Forward showing expected. TIGER POWER (5) resumes after a spell. Delivered a strong third over 1400m at Newcastle. Expected to give a bold sight. DAKOTA BREEZE (6) showed plenty of promise on debut when finishing second among stronger company tackling 1400m at Newcastle beaten 3.5L. Improvement likely for that experience. Leading chance. SEATTLE CHIEF (8) is a debutant three year old gelding by Sergei Prokofiev who has proven himself a useful sire. Could be competitive if navigating the draw.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, second last of 11 at this track on January 20 over 1600m, 18 len behind Si Grass carrying 61kg at $51. Won't find this any easier so he is hard to recommend.
