4:30 Newcastle Racing Tips & Lay Bets (10th February)

NEWCASTLE 4.30 

Even for a class 6 handicap this is a dire race and too honest I've got the same negative against every horse barring the one, the negative is that 9 of the runners have been in poor form lately, some have other negatives so the selection has to be NELLIE FRENCH 5/6 who won last time out over this distance at Wolverhampton, the same surface, but its best time came here over this c/d in 2020 and a repeat of that should be good so looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to follow up here but I expect it will be a fairly hot favourite, I cannot fathom why (Suwaan 6/1) is such a short price, yes it is a c/d winner but it hasn't shown anything of merit time wise since 2018 and i will happily lay the win on this horse. 

Abandoned

WOLVERHAMPTON 6.45 

A typical race where there is only 8 runners but I have struggled to narrow it down to anything lower than 3 of the runners so i will going with a dutch on A GO GO 9/2 who from stall 2 should be able to get away quickly and gain control of the rails and then could prove hard to catch but its best time is only good enough for 2nd top spot on recent c/d times but that is only 2lbs below QAARAAT 10/3 who just lately it has been running quite well and has won twice in its last four starts, BUY ME BACK 3/1 has only a slow c/d time to its name from its only run over this c/d but has a time from Lingfield that would make it my top rated so if taking to this surface could have every chance of winning but it has a time on the straight course at Newcastle which is good enough for 3rd overall, I will look to lay (Lady Quickstep 6/1) who may struggle to stay the distance in a fast run affair which looks more than likely here. 

Buy Me Back 10/3 1st (+3.33pts) (Betfair sp 4.57)

Qaaraat 7/2 3rd (-1pt)

A Go Go 4th 7/2 (-1pt)

WOLVERHAMPTON 7.45 Div I 

This 1st division of a class 6 sprint looks quite good for the class, (Eldelbar 5/2) will I expect be quite fancied in the betting after winning its last 2 races but its speed figures over this c/d isn't quite good enough for the win if others repeat their best but could still go well so I would go with a small lay, I would also usually look to lay Big Time Maybe as it can struggle to stay the trip but there isn't any known front runners in this race so that might not apply in this race and time wise it could go well with a slower early pace,, there's a few that could go well, Closely is my 4th top rated and 3rd top on recent c/d times, Tan who has the plum draw could be tempted to make the running and it does come out 3rd best on my figures and that time was recorded over this c/d this year, my money will be riding on *GLOBAL HUMOR 9/1 who has the best speed figure which was recorded in 2020 and the horse has one win and two places from its 3 previous c/d runs and should be staying on at the business end of the race. 

*NR

Lay bet: Eldelbar +1pt

Total: +1pt

WOLVERHAMPTON 8.15 Div II 

This 2nd division is very poor where I can only find 5 horses with recorded times and they are not that good, among the rest there's a lot of lightly raced sorts so this race is best well left alone.

Total on the day: +3.33pts

2:40 Wolverhampton Racing Tips & Lay Bets (31st January)

WOLVERHAMPTON 2.40 

I will look to lay (Alsvinder 9/2) as this isn't its favourite surface, there are another 2 I could lay but they are both big prices so not of any value, 5 of the field have been known to lead before so it should be a mad dash for the line, BUY ME BACK 7/2 drawn in stall 2 is one that likes to lead and has a decent time from Newcastle which is the same surface but hasn't run here before but it does have a better time from Lingfield which would make it my 2nd top rated, Zulu Zander and A GO GO 16/1 who are my top and 2nd top rated on recent times are from the same stable and the latter maybe worth a small each way wager as looking at jockey bookings it might be the stables main hope in this race, YOU'RE COOL 14/1 is another that could try to lead and if able to repeat its best time from 2019 it would be the winner and at the price might be worth a small each way punt. 

Buy Me Back 4/1 3rd (-1pt)

You're Cool 14/1 4th (-2pt) 

A Go Go 16/1  5th (-2pt) 

Lay bet: Alsvinder +1pt

Total: -4pts

WOLVERHAMPTON 4.10

With no known front runners in the race it could become a tactical affair so its hard to analyse the race plus I cannot see anything of value to lay, Secret Potion has a decent time from Kempton but this trip usually taxes its stamina but if this is a slow run affair it could have a chance, Madrinho would be my joint top rated if I used its best 2019 time but has been well below that level since that year, I will take a punt on SEPAHI 4/1 who showed a return to form maybe imminent when finishing 4th on its last run plus its my top rated using recent c/d times and it can either be held up or track the leaders which it will probably have to do in this race to make sure it doesn't get caught flatfooted when the pace is picked up nearing home.

Sephi 7/1 9th (-1pt)

2:25 Lingfield Racing Tips (29th January)

LINGFIELD 2.25 

A field of 9 with 5 of them known as front running types and I think this race will be won from the front, Smokey is in good heart winning last time out but needs to improve time wise to win this race unless the front runners go off too fast and fade quickly nearing home, Shining has a time from 2019 that would see it making the frame if not winning the race but recent times have been 9lbs below its best and the jockeys 0-4 doesn't inspire confidence, Chitra has the 2nd best recent c/d time to its name and an even better time, by 4lbs from 2019 but stall 7 with 4 fast starters on its inside could be a recipe for disaster but could make the frame if defying its draw, I am hoping that from stall one that A GO GO 13/2 can gain control of the rails and then kick on once into the home straight so leading from pillar to post. 

A Go Go 7/1 9th (-1pt)

Total -1pt

WOLVERHAMPTON 8.15 

This race is a little bit harder than most to be very confident about with a couple of possibly hidden dangers in the race, Manumission who is making its handicap debut but its 3 runs have shown virtually nothing but that's the name of the game to get a low handicap rating to use to their advantage, Valentine Rose hasn't any distance form but has faded in 7 furlong races so this might suit it, Solar Park is 2nd top rated on recent ties and 3rd best overall and likes to track the leaders and then stay on strongly at the finish, Tan did finish 2nd three runs ago but it was in a slow run race but has a time from 2019 that would make it my 2nd top rated overall and was 5lbs better than that in 2018 but I would need to see some form of life in a true run affair before i thought it could get back to winning ways, my pennies will be riding on NELLIE FRENCH 6/1 who can be held up or track the leaders and it recorded the top speed figure in this race on Jan 4th when finishing 2nd, it lost position on the bend in its last race but was then seen to stay on strongly at the finish and with a clear run here it can get back to winning ways.

3:50 Wolverhampton Racing Tips (30th November)

WOLVERHAMPTON 3.50 Div I

This is quite a good competitive race with two divisions for a class 6 affair, I will look to lay We’re Reunited and George Thomas if a single figure price, there's four horses that like to lead and my top rated is one of them although two of the four, Captain Ryan and Red Stripes have not shown much so far this year, Slowmo won for me last time out but this looks a better race but it could still run well if overcoming the stall 11 draw, Solar Park could perhaps do best of those coming from off the pace but i will be hoping that from stall 3 JORVIK PRINCE 9/2 can get away smartly and gain control of the rails and then ought to prove hard to catch. 

Jorvick Prince 5/1 5th -1pt

Total: -1pt

WOLVERHAMPTON 4.20 Div II

I can only find two in this division that prefer to lead but Greyvtrain is 3rd best on 2020 c/d times but not in my top 4 overall, there is a few I doubt will be able to get involved in this race, Super Julius, Choosey, Tan, The Night Watch, Deconso and Trulove for various reasons, Qaaraat won for me last time out and is 2nd best on recent c/d times so being in good form it could go well but I'm hoping it wont be able to pick up A GO GO 11/2 who I think will set the pace and then prove hard to catch and the apprentice has a 2-6 record for the stable which could swing things even more in its favour. 

A Go Go 11/2 1st +5.5pts (Betfair SP 5.63)

Total: +5.5pts

KEMPTON 4.35 

Only 10 runners but I will look to lay four of them, Loe Minor, Something Lucky, Moonraker and Starchant but only if they are a single figure price, Gold Brocade from stall 1 is versatile when it comes to racing tactics and should be able to get to the fore from the off, my 2nd top rated who did record its best time this year which is always a positive in my opinion is PHOENIX STAR 3/1 who likes to track the leaders and then stay on strongly at the finish the other i will be backing in the race is EXCHEQUER 16/1 who is the one I expect will set the pace and in the make-up of this race stall 8 might not be a problem and if it can reproduce its best time from 2019 it could hold on for an all the way victory and at the price is worth doing as an each way punt in this race.

Phoenix Star 3/1 1st + 3pts (Betfair 3.15)

7:00 Wolverhampton Racing Tips (17th October)

WOLVERHAMPTON 7.00 

A 11 runner dash with 3 known front runners so it should be a true run affair, there is very little on times between The Defiant, Thegreyvtrain and Smokey and any of them could do enough to make the frame, Dark Side Dream is a front runner and from stall 2 it could gain control of the rails and its best time from 2019 would make it my 3rd top rated overall, Solar Park is 2nd best on both 2020 times and overall figures so should go well but top rated on both recent and overall times is A GO GO 9/2 who won last time out and has been found a good chance to follow up here. 

A Go Go 6/1 2nd (-1pt) 

Total: -1pt

WOLVERHAMPTON 7.30

This is a strange looking race and I cannot analyse it to a definitive conclusion, Clever Candy Betty's Hope and Betsey Trotter have pieces of form that could see them make the frame if others falter, I am in a quandary about this race, on just 2020 times INEVITABLE OUTCOME 9/2 comes out 2nd top but 4th top overall and YOLO AGAIN 14/1 who is a possible pacesetter is top rated on this years times but only 3rd top overall and I have only 2lbs separating them, then I look at RESTLESS ROSE 5/1 who hasn't any recent c/d form but has a time from Chelmsford (the same surface) that makes it 2nd top overall just 2lbs below POET'S DANCE 17/2 and again this is using its best time from Chelmsford and I cannot see how I can do anything different than to dutch all 4 of them.

Poet's Dance 17/2 2nd (-1pt)

Inevitable Outcome 5/1 4th (-1pt)

Restless Rose 15/2 Unp (-1pt)

Yolo Again 40/1 Unp (-1pt)
