Southwell Race 3 - Lnaa Critical Care Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
PALLADAS (1) aims to remain unbeaten after getting off the mark at the first time of asking winning by 2.75L attempting a 1600m maiden at Kempton Park AW during January. Looks hard to beat again. REGAL DESIRE (11) aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a maiden success. Placed second over course and distance on debut then filled the same spot in a maiden at Beverley. Might go one better. STAR OF THE DESERT (9) finished runner-up on first career outing tackling track and trip before a fourth at Carlisle last month. May bounce back. ASSIRI HEIGHTS (4) should improve from finishing ninth at Salisbury more than a year ago.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 11 at Carlisle May 18 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Freddie Steady Go carrying 59kg at $4.30. On debut fourth of 14 at Thirsk April 18 over 1400m, 6 len behind Inishbeg with 58.5kg at $7. Thereabouts last time and is worth including in the multiples.
