Thursday at Southwell

With the end of the regular racing season and the international football break, this is a very quiet week by the usual standards. The all-weather cards ensure that flat racing is never really off, though.

On Thursday, the 14:20 race-card at Southwell looks a good spot for Enchanted Dream from the Margarson stable to break her maiden. The daughter of Halling was a good second over course and distance 17 days ago and should be among the main contenders in this rather weak field. The race favourite Afkar, from the Clive Brittain stable should provide the main threat. I cannot see Enchanted Dream out of the placings, so I recommend her as a Place.

Place: Enchanted Dream
