Southwell Race 8 - Gamble Responsibly At Betuk Handicap
KATS BOB (7) has been rejuvenated by a switch of yard. Unbeaten in two runs at Newcastle (both 1207m) for new stable while won over course and distance previously. Good chance despite rising mark. TWILIGHT DIAMOND (2) debuted with a win and finished second delivering his only subsequent attempt. Difficult to assess opening mark but clearly possesses potential. Multiple course and distance winner DARK SIDE THUNDER (4) is back to a rating from which he can be competitive. His stablemate COMMANDER OF LIFE (3) has been in good form of late and is another to consider.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 1.75 len at Newcastle All Weather March 7 over 1200m defeating Asadjumeirah carrying 60kg at $3.50. The race before that won by a neck at Newcastle All Weather February 20 over 1200m defeating Just Ten High carrying 59kg at $5.50. Rates highly and expected to run well.
