Southwell Race 5 - Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap

ESPANITA (1) Left nothing to chance when winning by 1 3/4L last start at Wolverhampton but competing in a higher grade. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Looks well placed. POLKA BLUE (2) Racing fresh today after a break. Came in 4th last run at Leicester. Happy to forgive that run and can find a nice position from the draw. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. SPORTING LIGHT (4) Resuming after a spell. Ordinary performance when 9th last start at Pontefract but drawn well. Definite claims. HOMESTRAIT (3) First up after 24 weeks and looked good when 2nd first up last preparation at Beverley. Should muster plenty of early speed. Capable of better.

Fresh today. Odds of $5.00 and came in 4th last run at Leicester. Happy to forgive that run and drawn nicely. Will be trying to topple them late. Must be considered here.
