Wolverhampton Race 1 - Race And Rest - Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
FINAL APPEAL (1) ran well on first career appearance finishing runner-up losing out by neck attempting a maiden over this distance at Nottingham. Hails from a stable noted for two-year-olds. May go one better. BLACKBERRY BOLD (3) placed third losing out by 0.75L tackling the aforementioned maiden at Nottingham. Expected to challenge once more and possibly reverse placings. NOBLE RAIDER (2) is the pick of those debuting. Bred by Persian Force out of Graunuaile. Worth considering. MARRALYN (5) is another debutant to watch out for. Bred by Minzaal out of Asiaaf. Holds plenty of future potential in this event.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Nottingham on April 8 over 1000m, neck behind Rotelle carrying 59kg at $2.30. Shapes as a leading chance.

Two-year-old filly by Minzaal out of Asiaaf having her first start. Should kick off on the right note.
