Southwell Race 6 - Betmgm: It's Showtime Handicap (Div 2)
DOWN TO THE KID (4) was headed in the final strides when second over course and distance a fortnight ago. Also finished runner-up here the time before and rates a likely chance again. VIXEY (3) scored tackling 1408m at this track two starts ago. Another good run when second at Newcastle since. Major player if staying this longer journey (unplaced only previous attempt). TIMETOBENICE (1) drops to a career-low rating. Creditable fourth at Chelmsford most recently and can make his presence felt. FOREVER PROUD (5) is back down to her most recent winning mark. Warrants consideration adopting first-time blinkers.
