Southwell Tip: Blackcurrent

Finished second over course and distance in September, a good performance after a year away from the track. Shows plenty of early dash and sharp 5f on Fibresand look ideal conditions.

In a poor race Blackcurrent doesn’t have many miles on the clock and he looks the value to win the 5.10 Southwell. He returned from exactly a year off to finish second behind Eesha Says over course and distance in September; a fine performance because he cut out most of the running and was well within his rights to tire after the long lay-off.


He showed bright speed again at the start of October but this time a sixth furlong seemed to find him out. He ran well when reverting to the minimum trip and Southwell, again showing early speed.

His running style looks ideally suited to Southwell, he’s off a lenient mark and has a fair drop in the middle of the track. He should run well.
