Wolverhampton Race 4 - Get Raceday Ready Handicap

GOLD STAR HERO (1) is now three from four on the AW after following up a 1L victory under Callum Shepherd at Chelmsford with a 1.75L course success eight-days-ago. On a roll and hard to oppose back down in trip. COUNSEL (4) delivered a win on return from a short break to make it two from two at this circuit. Dangerous to dismiss. HAVANA BLAST (3) reappeared from an eighteen-month hiatus at Newcastle and might show more with that run under his belt. Interesting racing second-up with the in-form Callum Rodriguez booked to ride. ALONDRA (7) is two from five since switching to the Scott Dixon stable. Shortlist.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months 10th of 12 at Newcastle All Weather on March 27 over 1000m, 4 len behind Pixie Diva carrying 61kg at $11. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Nottingham on June 2 2024 over 1000m, 6 len behind Kassaya carrying 60.5kg at $11. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

Second-up. First-up after three months won by a nose at this track March 24 over 1000m defeating American Bay with 61kg at $7. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Lingfield All Weather December 8 over 1200m defeating Sergeant Pep carrying 60kg at $17. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.
