Wolverhampton Race 5

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $19,981

SAX APPEAL (1) continues to prove consistent. Arrives having finished 0.5L runner-up tackling 3300m at Southwell AW most recently and looks set to go one better. Leading chance. GOBLET OF FIRE (3) wasn't at his best when fifth attempting 3300m at Market Rasen last time. Going well prior. Capable of sharp improvement and rates the key threat. GREEN TEAM (6) struggled tackling 2460m at Chester on latest appearance. Takes on this easier assignment and might feature prominently up significantly in trip. BARENBOIM (4) finished fourth contesting 3200m at Kempton Park AW when last seen. Merits respect.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Southwell All Weather on September 21 over 3300m, 0.5 len behind Hatysa carrying 64.5kg at $2. The run before that favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Kempton Park All Weather September 15 over 3200m defeating Campaign Trail carrying 63kg at $2.10. Expected to be very competitive.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

At the latest run 5th of 12 at Market Rasen on September 27 over 3300m, 1.75 len behind Saligo Bay with 71kg at $3.80. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Goodwood on August 23 over 2800m, 2.25 len behind Miss Alpilles carrying 60kg at $3.30. Not far away last time. Well placed and is a definite winning chance.
