Wolverhampton (eve) 5/12/08


Recommended Posts

6.50 I'm not too keen on Sir Liam in this opener. 13/8 is crazy. Climate looks to be a decent priced alternative. His profile suggests he often follows up and he won last time out after being backed off the boards. Even under a penalty he is well handicapped on the pick of his old form and he has the best apprentice in this race on board. 10/3 Bet 365 8.20 Plenty of these look handicapped to score with the likes of First Order, Ten Down and Canadian Danehill all winners off much higher marks previously in their career. However, their recent form has been disappointing and others appeal more. Steel City Boy makes his debut for Derek Shaw and could win more races now away from Ann Stokell. Fast Freddie has been in good form but I have doubts about whether he will have the race run to suit. He is best when allowed to dominate, but with Cayman Fox and Ten Down in the line up he is unlikely to get an easy lead. With that In mind, my main selection in this race is Figaro Flyer, who, although 7 lbs above his last winning mark (won at Southwell in May) has won off a 5 lb higher mark earlier in his career. He is versatile tactics wise and he has won multiple times coming from off the pace. If the aforementioned trio wear each other out battling for the lead then he may pick them off late on. Fast Freddie 9/4 Paddypower Figaro Flyer 11/1 Sporting Bet 9.20 Wolverhampton The finale is packed with hold up performers so pace could be a real issue here. Direct Debit is likely to race more keenly than most and ran a decent 4th to Spinning here recently over CD. They race on identical terms here but Direct Debit may be better suited to the way this race is likely to be run. He won a claimer over CD last time and although more is needed back in this handicap he is at least in good heart. 11/1 Sporting Bet
