Southwell is no longer seen as the poor relation of the all-weather tracks with their Tapeta surface attracting a far better quality of runner than it used to in the bad old days.
One example is the Amo Racing owned Ophelia Grace, a daughter of Starman who set them back 70,000 Guineas as a yearling.
Debuting at Beverly where she was an easy to back 12/1 shot, she outran her price when second although she did leave all her best work until late on over this trip, and personally I think she will be better over a sixth furlong sooner rather than later.
Luckily, I get the feeling she has been found a very winnable race here, though I don’t expect her to be on the scene until late on once more.
