Southwell Race 6 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Handicap
NUMERO VINGT (1) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Lingfield and good career start. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts but matched against a stronger field. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. WYLE COP (2) Handy enough when winning by 1L last run at Wolverhampton but rising in grade. Winning hope. RILEY ROCKS (6) Fresh today. Stormed home to win last run at Newcastle but testing ability against stronger contenders. Must respect. FAIR Y ISLE (8) Resuming. Charged home to win last start at Wolverhampton and drawn nicely. Solid career start. Challenged by a tougher grade. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. In the mix.

Got the upper hand late when winning by a short half head last time at Lingfield and showing consistent performance in races. Up against tougher opponents. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Landed the spoils when winning by 1L last run at Wolverhampton but up against a more competitive field. Definite claims.

Was $4.50 and came in 7th last start at Meydan but drops back to a suitable grade. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. One of the punters top hopes.

Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $26.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last time at Doncaster and up against a higher level of opposition. Needs to improve.

Fresh after a break. Ran on strongly to win last run at Newcastle but facing a stronger group of contenders. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

At $51.00 disappointing run when 7th last time at this venue but drawn the rails. Ear muffs on could be an important change. Tracking very well this campaign. Hard to entertain.

First up from a break. Bold effort when winning last start at Wolverhampton and can find a nice position from the draw. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Definite claims for punters.
