Southwell Race 8 - Summer Social Events At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
MOOSTAR (1) bids to turn three placed efforts into a win after losing out by 0.5L placing second in a 1200m handicap at Catterick on most recent appearance. Can go one better. MEGAPHONE (4) left behind five disappointing efforts to place third in a Wolverhampton handicap last Friday. Quickly turned out and is expected to challenge once again. VALSHARAH (5) has only placed once the previous six attempts running second in a Kempton Park AW handicap two starts ago. Might bounce back. FIRCOMBE HALL (6) makes some attraction at the bottom of the weights. Cannot be discounted after managing a second at Newcastle AW on Monday.

Second run back. First-up after three months 2nd of 8 at Catterick on April 8 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Keldeo carrying 61.5kg at $2.80. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at this track on November 3 over 1200m, 6 len behind Vince Lombardi with 61kg at $19. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

The race before that second last of 12 at this track on February 20 over 1200m, 9 len behind Cargin Bhui with 59kg at $26. Nine-year-old gelding who has not shown enough this prep for him to come into calculations.
