Southwell Race 2 - Awc Finals Day At Newcastle 26th March Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
SHADOW BOXER (5) Nice run when 3rd last time at Wolverhampton and competing in a lower grade. Should come to hand quickly. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Looks a winning hope. SIN CITY (1) First up after 30 weeks and displayed a good turn of foot when winning first up last preparation at Lingfield. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Sure to be thereabouts. GALILEO'S GIFT (7) 3yo by Ulysses having initial appearance for John Mackie. Watch early betting. BEAUJON (2) Tidy run when 3rd last run at Kempton and having second career run. Going down in grade. Can win this.

First up after 30 weeks and charged home to win first up last preparation at Lingfield. Should muster plenty of early toe. Up against a less competitive field. Will be there at the business end.

Looked good when 3rd last run at Kempton and having second race start. Facing less formidable opponents. Has some claims.

At $301.00 looked outclassed when 11th last run at Carlisle but was on debut last time. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Competing in a less challenging grade. Prefer others.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Goodwood and stepping down to a lower level. First start for a new trainer. Will be down in distance. Not threatening these.

Did well when 3rd last time at Wolverhampton and challenged by weaker competitors. Should muster plenty of early speed. Drawn the rails. Suited against these.

Started $29.00 and sub-standard effort when 7th last time at Lingfield but was a debutant last start. Expected to settle towards the tail. Matched against less formidable competition. Looks optimistic.

Was $51.00 and disappointing effort when 5th last start here but was on debut last time. Facing a weaker grade. Rather have another day.
