Wolverhampton Race 8 - Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
TIME TO TAKE OFF (3) scored debuting at Nottingham during October. The winning margin was only 0.5L however that was value for more and could be capable of much more as a three year old. Exciting chance. MERLIER (2) improved from a decent debutante effort at Newcastle to score revisiting the same venue two weeks ago by 3L. Concedes weight and rates highly. BURDETT ESTATE (1) produced a good performance here in December winning on the second attempt. There is plenty to like about his profile. DOLO'S STAR (4) couldn't land a blow behind the second mentioned on debut. Best watched for the future.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on February 14 over 1000m, nose behind Polka with 58kg at $2. Last start won by 3 len at Newcastle All Weather March 11 over 1000m defeating Celtic Arrow carrying 57.5kg at $2.80. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is sure to play a big role.
