Southwell Race 3

Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Prize Money: $22,140

SAILOR SONG (5) looked in need of the debut effort over course and distance in February. Stepped forward when runner up on turf at Doncaster last time out getting the hang of things. Still early days so consider. The well-bred AL AZD (3) is running out of chances however rates highest against this field and might be able to finally break his maiden. Newcomer KING OF THEBES (4) is by Dubawi and a close relation to several good horses. Cheekpieces adopted for debut is a concern however cannot be ruled out. STEPANOV (7) goes up in trip. Warrants a second glance with a view to handicaps in the future after this run.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 11 at this track on March 4 over 2200m, 39 len behind That's Amore carrying 59.5kg at $151. Not keen on his chances.

Third-up today. Not raced for 38 days. First-up ran last in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on February 10 over 1600m, 27 len behind Sweet Princess with 59kg at $15. Second-up second last of 11 at this track on March 4 over 2200m, 40 len behind That's Amore with 59.5kg at $151. This looks a stern test.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 4th in a small field at this track on February 28 over 2200m, 9 len behind Pursuit Of Love carrying 59kg at $8. Last start 2nd of 9 at Doncaster on March 28 over 2000m, 1.5 len behind High Storm with 59kg at $13. Plenty of scope for improvement and sure to measure up.

Second-up. First start of 7 at Newcastle All Weather on December 19 over 1400m, 9 len behind Thestral carrying 60.5kg at $3.80. Went for a spell before returning 2nd in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 24 over 1900m, 5 len behind Royal Standard carrying 56kg at $29. Shaping up nicely and is in the mix.
