Southwell Race 8 - Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Gbbplus Race)
MACHETE (1) has not missed the frame in four outings including a penultimate start 0.5L success under Mark Winn at Newcastle. Faced tougher opposition when 0.5L second at the same circuit in latest. Strong chance. CODIAK (3) got off the mark with a dominant 6L triumph tackling the trip at Wolverhampton. Further progress expected. Main danger. CANNON ROCK (2) made it two from four attempting the journey when gaining a 1.5L win at Wolverhampton. Makes appeal to hold form. CHARLIE'S CHOICE (5) showed a good turn of foot securing a ready 2.5L victory at Lingfield. Followed up with a third there again three-days-ago. Shortlist.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on January 10 over 2400m, 0.8 len behind Damascus Steel carrying 62kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at Lingfield All Weather January 3 over 2400m defeating Kimeko Glory carrying 57.5kg at $7. Thereabouts last time out. Likely to feature again.
