Southwell Race 6 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Handicap
HE BANGS THE DRUMS (3) produced a respectable performance last start when finishing second over 1200m at Wolverhampton. Capable of getting the job done. BLUEAWAY (4) remains a maiden after three starts. Unable to feature when sixth tackling 1200m at this track last time. Finds a suitable assignment and warrants thought. CALABRIAN SOLDATO (5) was disappointing at Wolverhampton finishing a well beaten 13L ninth despite market support. Might bounce back. SANDS OF SEVE (6) showed early speed in latest before weakening to be sixth attempting 1000m at Chelmsford. With more restraint could be competitive.
