Southwell Race 7 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap
BARRY THE WORM (8) finally got off the mark contesting a 1200m event at Wolverhampton in November when scoring by 0.75L adopting first time cheekpieces. They are retained for this return to action and he rates a player. MARRA DONNA (3) proved consistent of late placing past four starts including when a head second running at Lingfield Park last month. Unlikely to be too far away. THE TUNGUSKA EVENT (6) was a winner at Newcastle in February. Returned from a break producing a sound effort managing second at Pontefract three weeks ago. Player. TAAKLAM (4) wears a hood for the first time having finished third at Newcastle.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on March 27 over 1000m, nose behind Mister Moet carrying 56kg at $4.30. The race before that 3rd of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on March 5 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Tactical Blitz carrying 56kg at $4.50. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Redcar on April 20 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Watchdog with 54kg at $5.50. Before that 2nd of 10 at Newcastle All Weather on March 11 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Liquid Cooled carrying 59.5kg at $15. Not a great draw again but represents a major threat.
