BBOTD: Tuesday the 19th of February...

All eyes on the Southwell fibresand on Tuesday
Another placed effort for our selection but that's not enough obviously and no excuses for Attwaal who had a clear run and every chance. He was early on outpaced so to finished 3rd was okay in the end and a step up in trip might be the answer for him...


 14.50 Southwell: Corn Maiden @ 9/2 Paddy Power - 4pts win

I'm happily ignoring all the runs of this maiden filly until her latest performance which came here at Southwell. It was her first start on fibresand and she really looked to be home on this surface. She travelled nicely in a prominent position, and while she didn't have an answer to the eventual winner she finished a fine 2nd, galloping all the way to the line and coming a long way clear of the rest of the field. That was her first serious performance in her 14 races long career so it is fair to assume that the change of surface might bring more improvement out of her. She should be capable of winning this race tomorrow at least as the bottom weight as it looks a rather poor one. She's clearly not a selection to have too much confidence in but on the evidence of her last run I feel the price is quite a big one if you compare her profile with the market principles for example.
