Southwell Tips: Ace Of Spies

Given the amount of winners he has at the track, Conor Dore must be delighted Southwell is up and running again. He has several fibresand specialists in the yard, including Ace Of Spies who runs in the 2.00 Southwell.

The 8-year-old has won 5/38 starts at Southwell compared to 0/30 at the other three all-weather tracks. In terms of form, we don’t have to look far. He raced at the track yesterday finishing a respectable fourth in a stronger race than he faces today.

I wouldn’t be concerned about the quick reappearance as it’s something he’s done throughout his career; he’s won twice after a four-day break. The key to this horse is a drop back to 6f on a track riding slower than standard.

Yesterday’s times suggested the fibresand was riding a touch slower than standard, which is understandable considering it has just been re-laid. This is good news for Ace Of Spies, as he enjoys more testing conditions.

Ace Of Spies 6f Southwell record when track rides slower than standard: 13312321.

Given his strong record he should be backed at 5/1 (William Hill) to pick up this weak looking contest.
