Wolverhampton (AW) – Saturday, December 4th
Race 3 – Coral Proud To Support British Racing Conditions Stakes
4 – Navello – Draw 4
Winner last out at track on AW
Early this year, running against group winners and tried group 2 at Royal Ascot
Running in handicaps in last 3 races, so this is a drop down?
Favorite
1 – Dakota Power – Draw 3
Novice win and third last out in same type of race
Last race, he hung left with 1F left in the race but keep going
With small field, should get better trip
Race 4 – #betyourway At Betway Handicap
2 – Politics – Draw 3
7 starts 1 win 1 second
Ok run for first time on AW, running 4th. Kept in the rear and made progress at the end but had traffic issues. Better placing early, better results
In the past, he’s been placed more forwardly then the last race. Tactic change or needed a run?
This is he’s second run at 6F
Only a maiden win at Sandown in 2020
6 – Ramiro – Draw 9
14 starts 3 wins 1 second 1 third
Won in July and 2 races since, not much
Last race back, awkward start, moved forward and nothing left at the end
Other race, forwardly placed and went backwards in final furlong
Why pick? Change to AW
Dame won on AW in her first start at 1 mile (never won again)
Why not try here in class 4 races
1 – Muscika – Draw 10
67 starts 9 wins 10 seconds 3 thirds
Won last 2 races on AW at Lingfield and Chelmsford
Both win at big prices
Will be right behind leaders and then move with 1 F to go
If he doesn’t win again, her form should get a placing
Race 5 – Betway Handicap
2 – Alfred Boucher – Draw 5
21 starts 4 wins 4 seconds 4 thirds
Average effort in last race vs listed company
Drops to class 2 handicap after 3 listed C1 races
2 tries on AW, no placings
Good results in class 2 company earlier in the year on turf
Distance suits, now will we have a breakthrough on the AW?
David Probert to ride again and he has won on this horse
3 – King of the South – Draw 4
11 starts 4 wins 2 seconds 3 thirds
Won last time out and all wins are on the AW
Been moving up the ladder in types of races and likes distance
Favorite and could repeat
1 – Nao Da Mais – Draw 3
19 starts 7 wins 1 second 3 thirds
Started he’s racing career in Brazil and then France
Last 2 races on AW and first start in England was not good, dead last
Improved to run third – ran on the frontend but didn’t finish, this time?
First race in England was class 1, last a class 2
One second in France was on AW at Chantilly, won via DQ because the winner tested positive for banned substance
Race 6 – Betway Novice Stakes
6 – Screaming Petrus – Draw 5
Lost by 1L first out on AW
Off slowly, sat in the rear, ask to go with 1F left, hung left and finished positively
Green, needed race
Good trainer and better effort today
5 – Lost Gold – Draw 9
Sire produces first time out winners and was the champion sire of 2-year-old in 2021
Best horse he sired is: Battaash
Dam has produced 3 runs all won, 2 are stakes winners
Dam was unraced
Godolphin owned
3 – Handel – Draw 7
6 starts 2 seconds 3 thirds
Tries but has failed. Now trying farther distance and AW
Trainer in last 14 days has sent out 5 runs and 2 won
Ships over from Ireland and see it the change helps
