Southwell Race 9 - Bet 10 Get 40 With Betmgm Handicap
CONTORNO (7) was notably well backed for reappearance delivering a much improved display to shed the maiden tag by 0.5L at Newcastle. Sets the standard on that performance and can do better again. Leading contender. LOVE ALIVE (3) dug deep to hold off rivals when a long-neck winner at Wolverhampton last time. Could be improving and rates a big chance of going back to back. LIVERPOOL STAR (4) was beaten just a head at Newcastle first up last campaign. Clearly goes well fresh and might be primed for this. Keep safe. ROTOKURA BELLE (2) managed to strip fitter for reappearance when beaten 2.5L. Has won attempting this journey previously and looks a potential threat to all.

Third-up today. Not raced for 52 days. First-up 5th of 10 at Wolverhampton on December 30 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Must Be Ten carrying 61kg at $11. Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading 7th of 11 at Kempton Park All Weather on January 7 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Madman carrying 60.5kg at $8. Will be harder to beat this time.
