Wolverhampton Race 5 - Betmgm: It's Showtime Handicap
TELECOMMUNICATION (5) made a positive handicap debut when third over 1609m at Southwell in October. Competes from the same mark and gelded since. Bold display anticipated. PINE CLIFFS (4) was one place behind the main selection at Southwell. Reacted positively to first-time cheekpieces (retained) winning at Chelmsford (2011m) subsequently. Off the track for 144 days but still looks fairly treated. PINK PETUNIA (3) brings progressive form among novice company. Held on handicap debut and dropping 1kg might be able to improve again. Last start Lingfield winner FLAINE (9) is another for the shortlist.
