Wolverhampton Race 6 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Handicap
CRIMSON RAMBLER (1) shed the maiden tag going clear for a 1.25L success at Southwell. That was an improved showing and remains unexposed so there could be plenty more to come yet. Leading contender. TIME TO SPARKLE (5) shaped well when 1.75L fourth making reappearance. That was a first start in handicaps and can do better again now. Keep safe. CITY OF DREAMS (3) will find this much more suitable than those novice races faced so far. Potential for improvement and is a genuine threat to all. ANALEESA (11) indicated ability in three outings so far. Extra distance here to suit and first time visor might unlock more. Shortlist.
