Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Oppenheimer is our selection in this wide-open Southwell Class 6 over a mile, and he is preferred to the top-rated Zabriskie Point on a progressive profile, a fitness edge and the fact that the clock backs his form. Only two pounds separate him from that rival, so the gap is narrow, and his upward curve and sharper condition can bridge it in a 14-runner scrap. Zabriskie Point is the main danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while King of Speed and Desert Charm also have the ability to figure if the pace falls kindly. Oppenheimer gets the nod, though this is a competitive contest and our confidence is low.
Runners
Ashley Lewis (3)
Jack Jones 2/7
Won last time out and was second two starts back, so she arrives in good heart after just seven days, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 138 lb from stall two, though, she sits seventh of 14 on our rating of 56, and the earlier eighth and ninth finishes leave doubts.

Desert Charm arrives in cracking order, a second last time out and a third two starts back, with a pair of wins five and six starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is the 135 lb she carries from draw 1, with an official rating of 55.

Zabriskie Point is the top-rated runner in our figures, has run over today's trip and going, and posted a third three starts back, though he's yet to win in recent form and returns just two days after finishing eighth, which is the main risk.

King of Speed has been thirds in two of his last six, a third five starts back and another three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 59 ranks him third of 14. The risk is a 117-day absence, with an unplaced run last time out.

Kondratiev Wave is yet to win in his last six, though a third two starts back and a second four starts back show he can hit the frame, and he has run over today's trip and going. A ninth last time out and a cold yard temper enthusiasm, but our rating of 58 sits above his official 52.

Cy Twombly was seventh last time out, 21 days ago, and has a third two starts back as his best recent effort, though he is winless in his last six. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 56 sits above his official 52, but he lacks a cutting edge.

Third last time out and fresh enough after 26 days, Oppenheimer is our pick on overall profile despite being winless in recent starts, and he has run over today's trip before. He carries 131 lb from draw 7, while our rating of 62 sits second in the field of 14.

Patrick Morris 2/13
Mythical Isle bids to build on a third last time out and a second two starts back, and he's back quickly after just eight days, with experience of today's trip and going. Against that, he's a winner just once in his last six, and 131 lb from stall 8 looks a stiff ask.

Blue Samuna comes into this off a fourth last time out just seven days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going, but she is winless in her last six and was unplaced or beaten in the preceding five. Our rating of 56 sits a few pounds above her official 53, though 130 lb from stall 11 is a hefty burden.

Hear The Drums has finished eighth and sixth in his last two runs, and while he won four starts back and was third three starts back, that spell looks a way off now. He has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 130 lb he is hard to fancy, and our rating has him eleventh of 14.

Mali Star was beaten into eighth last time out, but he has a third two starts back and another three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. A 148-day break and a stable out of form hold him back, though.

Star Suepreme was third last time out, 19 days ago, and has a win three starts back, but a seventh and a ninth in the other recent runs show inconsistency. She has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank her last of 14, carrying 128 lb from stall 14.

Millbuie is winless in his last six and was only seventh last time out, though a second two starts back and another five starts back show he can get involved. He has run over today's trip and going, but ranking 13th of 14 on our figures makes him hard to fancy from stall five.

Abu Royal has been well beaten lately, finishing seventh last time out and winless in his last six, so he is hard to fancy at 128 lb from stall 12. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, was second three starts back, and returns after 19 days.
