Southwell Race 3 - Grace & Dotty Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
DIFFERENT OPINIONS (4) debuted with a good 2.5L second contesting a six runner 1408m novice event at Chelmsford just over four weeks ago. Selected to go one better. BLUE MANTLE (3) performed well losing out by a narrow margin placing second in a 1408m maiden at Newcastle last month. Warrants thought as expected to deliver another big effort. BACK TO ME (2) left his debut effort behind winning a 1207m maiden at Dundalk in early November. Rates highly debuting for a new trainer. RECEIPT (1) failed to shine finishing eighth of eleven trying 1609m at Kempton. Holds claims on his Southwell second prior to that.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Chelmsford on March 7 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Beagle Bay with 57kg at $13. Better for that experience and looks the testing material.

Jumped at big odds at debut, second last of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on February 24 over 1200m, 9 len behind Seven Fires with 57.5kg at $26. Others look better prospects.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, second last of 12 at this track on February 7 over 1600m, 19 len behind Tiger Power carrying 54kg at $126. Second-up 6th of 9 at this track on March 21 over 1600m, 7 len behind Timber Twelve with 56kg at $201. Can't have on recent performances.
