UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

ZOETIC has looked consistent in her short career so far and could get off the mark at the fourth time of asking for James Ferguson. Beaten a neck at Sandown 10 days ago, she was the one to take from that race and might have too much pace here for likely market rival Stream. The latter was disappointing at Chepstow when last seen, but her 5f form before that was decent enough and she can take second ahead of Black Sparrow.
Prediction : 1st Zoetic 2nd Stream 3rd Black Sparrow

KIM WEXLER was deemed good enough to run in the Super Sprint at Newbury earlier this month and, despite a modest showing there, is fancied to build on those exertions now back over 6f. David Loughnane is having an excellent season with his juveniles and this filly caught the eye on debut at Chepstow four weeks ago. Susucaru has found just one too good on her two starts and should find a race soon, while Tattoo wasn't at her best at Bath last time but could easily bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Kim Wexler 2nd Susucaru 3rd Tattoo

OUR MAN IN HAVANA had proved a model of consistency prior to scoring at Chepstow last time out and Tony Carroll's charge is fancied to go in again under Elisha Whittington. Second in five of his six starts before that triumph, he has some good all-weather form and could benefit from another aggressive ride. Peachey Carnehan was behind the selection when last seen but probably wasn't suited by the lively turf surface there, while Fantasy Justifier and Comeatchoo are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Our Man In Havana 2nd Peachey Carnehan 3rd Comeatchoo

MARIA ROSA has had to settle for a supporting role behind a useful performer on both outings so far and was a little underwhelming when fourth at Chelmsford on her reappearance. However, John Gosden appears to have found the $1,750,000 War Front filly, who is a half-sister to a Kentucky Derby winner, a winnable opportunity here as she returns to 7f. Inexplicable was an expensive foal and is worth a market check ahead of his debut for James Tate, while Filo's Flyer could be an improver in the field.
Prediction : 1st Maria Rosa 2nd Inexplicable 3rd Filos Flyer

The form of FRESH SNOW's Salisbury second to Tinker Toy took a boost when that rival enhanced his reputation at Doncaster recently and the Dark Angel filly can open her account here. Elmetto was only beaten a nose on debut in the autumn and Hughie Morrison's charge has to be respected on her reappearance, while Smart Connection is a full-brother to the Group 2 winner Dutch Connection and is interesting on debut.
Prediction : 1st Fresh Snow 2nd Smart Connection 3rd Elmetto

RED BRAVO bounced back to form when a close third over 6f at Ayr a couple of weeks ago and he could be hard to beat if improving for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Deftera Lad is an obvious threat to the selection having won over C&D earlier in the month, while Dodgy Bob and Deconso are arguably the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Red Bravo 2nd Deftera Lad 3rd Dodgy Bob

SINGING THE BLUES was an impressive six-length winner at Bath a couple of weeks ago and a 6lb rise for that win may underestimate this former C&D winner. Seaport has hit the crossbar on both starts since winning here in January and he should go well once again. Red Secret put a disappointing course performance behind him when finishing a close-up second at Kempton last time and he also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Singing The Blues 2nd Seaport 3rd Red Secret

CRYSTAL PEGASUS sets a decent standard on the evidence of his two efforts this season and, despite suffering defeat at odds-on when second at Pontefract earlier in the month, the son of Australia promises to be suited by the step up to 1m4f. Brilliant Light ran well when runner-up to the exciting Darain at Newbury and he can enter calculations along with his stable companion Raased and Byron Hill.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Pegasus 2nd Brilliant Light 3rd Raased

RECUERDAME got his head back in front when scoring at Kempton earlier in the month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from doubling up with Hollie Doyle taking over in the saddle. Queen Mia has been fairly consistent since the resumption of racing and can bounce back from a below-par effort at Haydock, while Freedom And Wheat and Musee D'Orsay complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Recuerdame 2nd Queen Mia 3rd Freedom And Wheat
