Wolverhampton Race 7 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Handicap
POPTY PING (1) raced from off the pace prior to finishing 8.5L fourth in a 1621m handicap at Southwell seventeen days ago. Looks capable of recording the second win of her career. Debuting for a new trainer LEXINGTON EXPRESS (7) gets a chance to have a big impact making her first appearance since a 6L fourth in a 2011m handicap at Chelmsford early November. FLYING MACS (8) recorded a 3.4L fourth competing in a 1610m handicap at Lingfield just under three weeks ago. Shortlist. BERGAMO GOLD (5) recorded a 3.3L fourth contesting a 1408m novice event at this circuit five weeks ago. One to note making her handicap debut.

Second run back. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after six months made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on December 22 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Free Your Spirit with 58.5kg at $41. Previously second-up got back early 8th of 11 at Leicester on June 3 over 1400m, 17 len behind Amberia with 60.5kg at $101. Fitter and worth following up.
