Southwell Race 7 - Conference & Events At Southwell Racecourse Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
GOLD STAR GAZING (4) resumes after two third placings at Kempton over 1408m, most recently beaten 1.7L in a nine-runner field, and looks well placed here. WEZZEER (9) was third at Kempton over 1207m on debut, finishing 4.25L from the winner, and should be competitive again. HUGH (5) was fourth at Kempton over 1207m, beaten 4.75L, and can improve with that run under the belt. AGRIC RANGER (1) was fourth at Ripon last start, while PERCY'S STAR (7) and FOREST PHOENIX (3) have each shown some ability in recent starts. Gold Star Gazing (4) and Wezzeer (9) appeal as the leading chances.
