Southwell Race 4 - Midnite Ain't Your Grandads Bookie Hcp
STERLING FORTUNE (6) powered clear for an impressive 6L success over course and distance last time. Looks well treated turned out again quickly under a winners penalty and could prove hard to beat. YIMMNA (4) looks overdue a victory having placed past three starts. Stayed on well for a 4.5L third at Kempton and should relish this extra journey. Keep safe. TOASTMASTER (2) let down favourite backers last time. Clearly felt capable of winning from this mark though and that latest performance was too bad to be true. Worth giving another chance. MO ANAM CHARA (1) went clear for a 1.5L win at Thirsk two starts back. Creditable effort since and holds each way claims now.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at Catterick on September 30 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Vince Le Prince carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. The run before that won by 1.75 len at Thirsk on September 14 over 1400m defeating Showtown with 57.5kg at $3.50. Can improve and should figure in the finish.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Kempton Park All Weather on September 9 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Enchanted Queen carrying 58kg at $4.50. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at Redcar on August 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind Raggaas with 58kg at $1.60. Must come into consideration over this longer journey.

Racing well recently. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 13 at Pontefract on October 5 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Selection carrying 60.5kg at $26. The start before that 3rd of 9 at Great Yarmouth on September 15 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Archer's Grace with 60kg at $6.50. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign seventh of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather August 19 over 1400m, 24 len behind Merry with 57kg at $201. On debut fifth of 8 at Ffos Las June 30 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Dark Whisper carrying 60kg at $41. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.
