DAILY RACING PREVIEW BY ANDY HOLDING
TUESDAY JANUARY 13
8.00 SOUTHWELL
CHARLIE’S CHOICE, who can be a bit of a hostage to fortune with his run style, didn’t have the rub of the green at Lingfield the other day, but he is afforded another chance to put matters right at a track that has seen him successful in the past.
David Simcock’s inmate is often at his best when he gets a good pace to shoot at and that is exactly what he received at the Surrey venue two starts ago.
Posting a fast speed figure that day, things didn’t quite transpire in his favour on his return visit a week later and despite rattling home to good effect, he ended up being too far back in a more steadily run affair.
Although today’s small field has the possibility to become tactical, at least the sight of Robusto eases the worry to a degree, and this six-time all-weather winner can continue to fine recent run of results for his stable.
CHARLIE’S CHOICE – 1-point win@9-4
