Wolverhampton Race 7 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Fillies' Handicap
DESERT BELLE (5) broke through in style tackling 2400m at Southwell All Weather. Remains lightly raced with more improvement likely. Leading contender. She is shaping up well and could go close again. KELLY BURN (6) was sent off favourite here last time. Found only one better attempting 2400m making it two placings from three attempts this campaign. Represents the main danger. YOU GOT TO MY SOUL (4) arrives freshened since a Nottingham seventh while the Edward Greatrex booking reads well. Makes appeal. PYLEATES (3) resumes after going close here before the break and deserves plenty of thought.

Racing second-up today. Last run 6th of 12 at Newcastle All Weather on May 1 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Star Cast with 61kg at $41. At only start last preparation 3rd of 7 at Thirsk on September 6 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Bosphorus Rose carrying 60kg at $15. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at this track on April 6 over 2400m, 2.25 len behind Magician Of Riga carrying 61kg at $2. The start before that 5th of 8 at Doncaster on March 29 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Arc Ole Ole carrying 57kg at $13. Making headway. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here.
