Southwell Race 3 - Lnaa Critical Care Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
PALLADAS (1) Back from a break of 28 weeks. Ran home strongly to win last start at Kempton and having second race start. Competing at a lower grade. Expect a solid run. STAR OF THE DESERT (9) Average at best when 4th last time at Carlisle but back in an easier grade. Should race on the speed. Strong chance. BLUE BOY JUNIOR (5) Resuming after a spell. Was making up some late ground when 4th last time at Carlisle and drops back to a suitable grade. Will appreciate a good draw. Will be there at the finish. MERCANTILE (7) 3yo by Night Of Thunder having first race appearance for Daniel Kubler & Claire Kubler. Jockey Ebrahim Nader is a bonus. Watch for a sign in the market.

Resumes after a 28 week break. Reeled them in when winning last start at Kempton and having second career run. Up against a less competitive field. Definite claims for punters.

Odds of $201.00 and below standard effort when 7th last run at Wolverhampton but competing in an easier class. Can find a nice position from the draw. Prefer in something weaker.

First up from a spell of 55 weeks. Odds of $2.25 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last time at Salisbury but was on debut last time. One for the exotics players.

Resumes from a break. At $4.33 chased well when 4th last time at Carlisle and lining up against easier rivals. Gets a favourable draw. Should be in the finish.

Started $67.00 and sub-standard effort when 10th last time at Newcastle but having second career run. Taking on easier opposition. Will find this tough.

Was $5.50 and not in contention when 5th last run at Nottingham but having second career run. Facing less formidable opponents. Respect the betting.

Was $5.50 and disappointing run when 4th last time at Carlisle but facing weaker opposition. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can win.
