Nice winner today - second on the bounce now! It almost worked out exactly as I would have hoped. There wasn't an awful lot of pace on early on, so that was the chance for Hillbilly Boy to cross over from a wider draw and race in a desired prominent position. He kicked on 2f out and held on to win nicely.
17.10 Southwell: Solarmaite @ 9/2 Bet365 - 3pts win
Solarmaite ran a cracking race here at Southwell last time out, back then over 7f. She led the field and set a quick pace, rather a good 6f pace in fact and had the field early on on the stretch. She travelled strongly and turned for home as the clear leader and surprisingly she didn't really weakened until very late, actually half a furlong out, when got finally caught. But she finished a clear second in front of the rest of the field. She drops in trip tomorrow back to 6f, which should very much suit. Her only win so far came over course and distance, of a 1lb higher mark than the current one. I think she ran better than 57 lto and therefore I think she has every chance to win this race. There doesn't seem too much pace on, I suspect if she wants to get the lead she'll get it.
