Flat Racing Tuesday 25th Aug

8.50 Wolverhampton Echo Brava has been running respectably of late and has been ridden more positively than is usually his winning way, remains on a very harsh mark 7lb above last winning mark and more needed in this. Warrigal is another likely prominent runner, very keen last time out in first time visor and having been gelded. 6lb rise fair but extra 2f here and visor has to work again. Manomine is not entirely straightforward but is useful on his day, another front runner but may be stretched by this trip. Lineman had shown a bit of promise on time before last but took a large step back although could be ground related, will appreciate the return to the AW and first time cheekpieces. Underwritten won a weak Newcastle race yesterday and likely to be a non runner and this will clearly demand more under a 6lb penalty. Dino Mite is an interesting runner having bolted up at Southwell in a nothing more than average maiden, showed little on handicap debut on turf off a potentially harsh looking mark, return to AW could help but has something to prove although clearly not exposed. It might be worth taking a chance on the old boy Admirable Duque at his beloved track, clearly hasn’t tried this surface yet but handles the fibresand and that shouldn’t stop him coming good. He has shown a little more promise last couple of times and is 6 from 10 over this CD. Will get the race run to suit with so much pace likely in this race and has now dropped to a 1lb below last winning mark. 2pt win Admirable Duque 10/1 pp 9.20 Wolverhampton A very poor looking race to finish on, most of these have a lot to prove for the time being. Bubbly Bailey has a poor strike rate 2 from 25 and looks held by handicapper on recent efforts 5lb above last winning mark. Your Gifted is very well treated now 32lb below last winning mark but on a lengthy losing run and needs to show a lot more. Rise To Glory could be a danger to all if getting the spark back having dropped to 5lb below last winning mark, yard going ok and cant be ruled out at a huge price back on preferred AW. Captain Scooby is on a very lengthy losing run but 20lb below that winning mark. Not straightforward needs a furious pace and the gaps to appear and that is not always guaranteed around here and clearly has his quirks. Smart DJ is the least exposed in this field making handicap debut after 3 runs in maidens. Those runs in maidens hardly set the world alight but has been given a very low mark with a useful apprentice taking over claiming a very useful 5lb and a nice middle draw to make handicap debut and could go well at a price aswell. 1.5pt win Smart DJ 12/1 PP 0.5pt win Rise To Glory 18/1 bet365
