Madam Mirasol; No top weight that was top Racing Post Rating has won a class 6 hcp this year. Six have failed (including Harwoods Star yesterday)
Queen of Skies, joint top weight, has RPR highest (TS) speed figure.
Similar factors show no winners from five races at Southwell during Dec and so far this year.
Novalist: Not confident with the two recent wins. Past records show better if won last two races.
1.45
Eium Mac: Attempt to be the third class6 hcp winner of year that is top RPR rated.
37 others have failed to win
Both winners had my top score (May Hay & Thomas Blossom) and 4 other top scores failed to win.
Continuing with RPR this year 5 highest rated that finished 2nd On latest run have
All failed to win, but the three that ran Southwell were all placed.
On that basis Eium Mac should be placed.

Extreme Supreme has top RPR TS speed. (Derek Shaw also had same with Loyalty on Sunday - unpl). Two 4yo’s this year failed in this grade hcp and from
Total of 16 of the same age group in all hcp grades there has only been two placed.
Archies Advice who very similar form (311) was unplaced at 5/2fav, but over much
Longer distance.

I usually take the data at 2 or 1 day prior to race.
It's amazing how the Track Speed data changed.
However all the comparison is on same basis.
Nothing to rely on but nothing ever is.
