Southwell Tips: Excellent Aim
Record at Southwell is 212 and ran a fair race at Kempton last time on a track that doesn’t suit.
Excellent Aim isn’t exactly prolific with a record of 4/41 and curls up when hit with the whip but under the right circumstance he is ok.
His record in class 6 contests improves to 3/24 but it’s at Southwell where he really shines. In three starts on the Fibresand he has finished 212. Those runs came off marks of 57-60-65 and he is off 60 this afternoon.
The reason why he runs well at Southwell is probably in part to his quirks. The Fibresand favours strong travellers and that means Excellent Aim can sit handy without his jockey getting too animated. His lack of resolve in the finish is a worry but he’s not up against any world beaters.
Last time out at Kempton he ran a decent race without ever getting close in a steadily run contest. The cavalry charge of Soouthwell should be more to his liking and he’s got a nice draw in the middle of the track.
