BBOTD - Friday the 1st of March...

[robertob]

19.40 Wolverhampton: Lean On Pete @ 11/4 Bet365 Lovely progressing Oasis Dream gelding who was pretty unlucky in his most recent run here at Wolverhampton. He was still hard on the bridle turning for home but had to wait until 1f out to get a run. He finished well enough but had no chance to peg back the eventual winner who done it nicely from the front. He drops in class tomorrow, back into a class 5 Handicap, and remains on the same mark. That must give him a huge chance. Lean On Pete also won with loads in hand on his penultimate start here at Wolverhampton (despite the small enough looking winning margin) when it looked almost impossible for him to come out on top when the field turned for home but he easily cut back the deficit to win it cheekily on the line. The race after that is a form to ignore in my mind as the race wasn't run to suit and came on a day when it as almost impossible to do well from the rear of the field. Ishikawa is the obvious danger tomorrow, but has to defy a new career highest mark and I think Lean On Pete should have still much more to offer, with Gibbons booked a top man is on board to bring him home.
