Tight Lipped in with a shout at Southwell
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
TIGHT LIPPED runs at Southwell tomorrow in a 1 mile apprentice handicap and must have a good chance. There are 8 runners and he is well drawn in 2. He won recently on the polytrack at Wolverhampton but we think he will better on this surface as he is a soft ground horse. He ran well there before in a race that has worked out well but had the visor on that day and ran a bit too free, he will have no headgear on this time. He will be ridden by Gary Phillips who has recently come over from Ireland and has made a good impression so far. He has ridden 5 winners from 16 rides so has a very good strike rate, let's hope he can improve it further tomorrow.
