All today's FTM runners are in action at Southwell
"We've seen money for No Mean Trick, at [6.6] from a high of [9.8] in the 14:40."
Today's Follow The Money movers come from Southwell...
At Southwell, in the 14:10 7 furlong handicap, we've seen strong money for Sopran Nad , having been backed from [6.0] into [4.3]. Ridden by promising apprentice Raul Da Silva this front runner is a course and distance winner who races off a winning mark. He is the only front runner in the field so should be able to dictate this small field. The main worry is that he appears to have lost his form a little from last summer. However, he was freshened up over Christmas and made a low key reappearance at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. The money appears to suggest he can put that behind him and he looks sure play a big part in the finish.
In the following race, the 14:40 five furlong handicap, we've seen money for No Mean Trick who now disputes favouritism at [6.6] from a high of [9.8]. His last three starts over course and distance have read: first, second, first. However, his last two runs have been at Wolverhampton. He's still shaped well though, missing the break both times, when he usually likes to be prominent and also racing 3lbs wrong two starts ago and doing the best of the hold-up horses next time out. It's also worth noting that Wolverhampton's five furlongs is around a bend whereas today he races back at the straight five of Southwell. He's certainly been shaping like he's still on a fair mark and he certainly looks capable of making up the two lengths on Dancing Freddy who beat him last time.
Finally, we look to the 15:40 for our lay, Mediterranean Sea. This gutsy mare might be seen as a risky lay having won three on the bounce, but there's a notable lack of confidence in her, drifting from [2.68] out to [3.95]. Her last race looked to fall apart with the other two market leaders running no sort of races and she was left with a fairly simple task. She was put up another 4lbs for that and this contest looks a much better standard with plenty in good form. Most of that form comes from today's course. Mediterranean Sea will travel well into the race but hopefully her new mark will hold her back enough to stop her taking this.
