Southwell Race 4 - Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)
FILLY EILISH (8) has been progressing on both starts to date despite finishing 5L behind an impressive winner at Wolverhampton a week ago. She looks to have plenty of ability and rates the obvious choice. PORTMAN BLUE (1) steps up in trip having performed with credit in two of his three attempts over 1400m. Disappointing fifth last time out at Newcastle but rates highly. WELBURY (6) will be of interest when handicapping after this third start having hinted at a good level of ability in two turf maidens. TOMMO'S GINJANINJA (7) goes back up in trip. Finished fifth here contesting a 1400m event last month.

First-starter by Study Of Man out of Alvarita. Tough to line up. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

At debut, 5th of 9 at Newcastle All Weather on February 15 over 1600m, 7 len behind Silky Lass carrying 58kg at $13. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at Musselburgh on September 13 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Suddenly I See carrying 60.5kg at $3.30. First up last campaign 3rd in a small field at Hamilton Park on June 11 over 1200m, 4 len behind Better And Better carrying 59kg at $6. Has plenty going for him and could prove hard to beat.

Last start 5th of 8 at this track on February 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Padraig Dawn carrying 55kg at $9.50. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Wolverhampton on January 30 over 1700m, 2.5 len behind Terranoble with 54kg at $3. Won't spend a dime in the run from the inside barrier. Can improve and may figure in the finish.
