Wolverhampton Race 5 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Fillies' Handicap
NAD ALSHIBA GREEN (2) starts life for a new stable making all-weather debut. Tackled some decent races towards end of last campaign and is more battle-hardened than a few of these. Top selection. Connections have persevered with LAYLA LIZ (1) who presumably had issues. Yet to miss the first two including three attempts at this venue. Will likely be ready on return. ANGEL NUMBERS (7) brings the benefit of a recent run finishing 0.5L second over course and distance. Searching for first victory since debut. Place chance. OPHELIA GRACE (5) gained a 5L maiden win at Southwell from four attempts. Might go close.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at this track February 17 2025 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Blinky with 61kg at $2.50. On debut favourite; won by neck Leicester October 15 2024 over 1200m in the wet defeating Be An Angel carrying 56.5kg at $3. Could prove too smart for these.

First-up. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at this track October 28 over 1200m, 2 len behind Akabusi with 60.5kg at $7.50. When resuming last campaign second last of 7 at Chester September 13 over 1000m, 6 len behind Temple Of Athena with 55.5kg at $5.50. Has figured in the placings when fresh in the past but looks a bit out of her depth.
