Wednesday evening promises exciting racing action with All-Weather events at Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes is set to be a thrilling encounter, featuring three unexposed colts. Goldinthesea, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing runner. He impressed at Dundalk in January, with the third-place finisher going on to win, and as a son of No Nay Never, he could have a promising future with his new connections.
Penny Time is an exciting prospect for trainer Hugo Plamer, having bolted up at Southwell last month, beating a previous winner, and will attempt to win for the third time in as many starts. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only seen the track once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and like the others, remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth.
Debutant Shadow Boxer, costing €520,000, represents Victorious Forever, with the market likely to reveal more about this colt. Another competitive race this evening is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three last-time-out winners clash. Cool Molly, up three pounds after winning the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, has to be respected. Vencedora, carrying the famous Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colors, has a different profile, being lightly raced and unexposed for Karl Burke, and runs for the first time this season after winning at Newmarket in September.
Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, comes with a similar profile to Vencedora, having only run twice, with her only win coming last time out. The finale this evening features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick on just her fifth career start in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap.
Her two wins came at Newcastle, showcasing versatility, and she steps back up to six furlongs. Top-rated Barefoot Beach bids to bounce back to winning ways after a promising debut win and a close second at Kempton. Zighy got off the mark last time out and George Boughey's filly could yet prove better. Betelgeuse seeks another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell.
