Southwell Race 3 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Handicap
ROMEO MONTAGUE (2) shed the maiden tag by a nose attempting a Lingfield Park AW maiden during September. Unable to follow up when seventh making handicap debut at Newcastle AW. Can bounce back. ALLEGRINO (4) gained a first success on the fourth and latest outing tackling a 1400m Lingfield Park AW novice race securing a 1.5L victory after placing at Kempton Park AW and Chelmsford. May double up. BAKER BLUE (1) improved from running fourth at Wolverhampton to delivering a neck second at this venue. Holds winning course and distance form. Might go one better. MUST BE TEN (5) will be battling it out for fourth spot.
