Wolverhampton Race 9 - Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Hcp
BARACHIEL (6) was a shade unlucky to finish second down 0.5L making handicap debut here last Tuesday (2400m). Maintains a nice handicap and is every chance of going one better. ASTRID (9) remains a similarly unexposed talent. Matched her maiden form taking by 1.75L a fillies event at Southwell (2800m) a month ago. Expect she will be thereabouts at the finish. ROMANTIC SPIRIT (2) battled hard managing a close second tackling the trip at Lingfield when last seen two months ago. Useful claiming apprentice enlisted. In the mix. CARAWAY (8) scored at this course and distance last month then subsequently clocked in a 2L second also here. Enters calculations.

Second-up. Comes off a 61-day let-up. First-up after two months set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on September 3 over 2400m, neck behind Sibling Rivelry with 58kg at $9.50. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at this track on June 1 over 1900m, 6 len behind Imola carrying 64kg at $5. Winning chance with that run under the belt.
