Southwell Race 4 - Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
CREST OF FIRE (5) produced a fine performance when only a neck second at Doncaster in September. That reads as strong form and now gelded looks a potentially exciting three year old this year. POWDER MONKEY (9) was well held by 6L when second debuting at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Open to any amount of improvement and must be respected. FINLAGGAN (1) just had the one start in France for Godolphin and Andre Fabre then switched to a shrewd operation. Worth noting for the future. SUPERFORTRESS (2) ran second on debut at Newcastle during October but disappointed at Redcar next time. Of interest revisiting the all weather.

Second-up. First start second last of 10 at this track on October 23 over 1220m, 10 len behind Fiery Damsel carrying 58kg at $19. Went for a break before returning ran last of 7 at this track on March 13 over 1000m, 20 len behind La Belle Forest carrying 56kg at $126. That form suggests she needs a bit more time.
