Wolverhampton Race 2

Betmgm: It's Showtime Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $14,612

WINE DARK SEA (7) finished behind a decent performer at Great Yarmouth. Starts out again and looks to hold plenty of ability. SPECIAL GHAIYYATH (3) resumed with a good third over 1700m after racing with the pace. Suitable contest to secure a win. PENFOLDS GRANGE (1) ended last campaign winning by a head tackling 1700m. Takes on competitive company. Hard to look beyond. QUEBELLA (9) makes debut and tough to gauge. Market to guide.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign winning by head this track November 16 over 1700m defeating Quick Qudos with 60.5kg at $3.80. On debut third of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather October 23 over 1400m, 7 len behind Loch Leven carrying 59.5kg at $8. Expected to be forward enough to run well while fresh as he has done before.
