Wednesday evening brings exciting All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes promises 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 showed impressive form at Dundalk in January, with the third-place finisher later achieving a win, suggesting a promising future for his new connections.
Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is also a strong contender, having convincingly won at Southwell last month. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only raced once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and like the others, remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever, cost €520,000, and the market will reveal more about this colt. Another competitive race is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners clash.
Cool Molly, having won the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago, is up three pounds and deserves respect. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, has a different profile, being lightly raced and unexposed, while Rogue Citation has a similar profile with only two runs. It will be interesting to see how they perform against the race-fit Cool Molly.
The evening's finale features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. With two wins at Newcastle, showing versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and should be tough to beat.
Top-rated Barefoot Beach bids to bounce back after a close second at Kempton, while Zighy, having recently won, could yet prove better. Additional racing action includes Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and notable jockeys in action at Happy Valley.
