2.10 Southwell Sopran Nad 2pt win 4/1

Sopran Nad won off this mark when scoring over course and distance last summer.  Since then he’s been very disappointing, but has only raced once at Southwell during this period.  I feel he could be a “job horse”, who only goes well when connections want him to, and significant support today, would raise expectations. 

The booking of Raul Da Silva looks interesting.  As I’ve said in recent posts, I think he’s as good as any 5lb claimer riding at the moment, and I expect him to make all, and may well take some catching.

5.10 Southwell Elhamri 2pt win 9/2

The best recent form on offer in today’s race was from Elhamri, when winning over course and distance in November, since then he’s been competing in better class races, or racing over conditions that don’t see him to best advantage.

As far as I’m concerned connections have been working him down the handicap for today’s race, and if he arrives in top form, then he should win.   9/2 is more than a fair price about a horse who we know can win off this mark, against a very modest looking bunch
