Wolverhampton 7/2/09

3.20 Wolverhampton Nimmy's Special remains a maiden after six starts but has threatened to score on more than one occasion. On the 13th October she ran in a seller over seven furlongs here, and made good late progress, running on well at the finish, to suggest she would be suited by a step up in trip. Beaten by only 0.44 lengths that day she raced over the same trip next time out at Leicester in a class 6 nursery. Again, she ran a decent race, this time on the outside, again staying on and finishing just 0.31 lengths off the winner. Her last run came in a Wolverhampton nursery over 1m 1f here, and she didn't get the best of runs, hitting a wall of runners as they turned for home. As they entered the final couple of furlongs she gained a bit of breathing space and stayed on, but by then the winner had flown. However, I think she could be suited to this sort of trip and given she runs off a mark of 62 she could have a chance. She wasn't far of Svindal in a seller and that rival has recently gone in off 65. 20/1 Stan James

Re: Wolverhampton 7/2/09 2.45 Wolv Spume - generally consistent and will stay this far. Only 3 lbs higher than last win and has been running well off 53 of late so I don't think this mark is beyond him. 13/2
