Southwell Tips: Abi Scarlet
Has won five times over course and distance and takes a significant drop in class.
There isn’t’ much to be enthusiastic about today but Abi Scarlet should prove too good in the 3.25 Southwell.
Her course and distance record is 111115 with her last defeat coming in a class 4 handicap; she faces a much easier task in today’s selling stakes.
At 10/11 (Sportingbet) she might not be everyone’s cup of tea but her price is inflated thanks to the presence of Al Khan in the field.
Bookmakers price up Stephen Arnold’s runners very cautiously these days, to avoid any gambles being landed and that can create value elsewhere in the field.
In my book Abi Scarlet is a 4/7 chance, therefore she is a good bet even at skinny prices.
