Wolverhampton Race 6

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

HARD TO BELIEVE (1) improved sharply from an uninspiring debut to win by just under 1L at Bath during October over 1600m. Expected to handle the all-weather and looks very hard to oppose. ASTROLOGICAL (2) is a debutante from the Marco Botti stable who are in good form. Related to a few winners and doesn't have a daunting task ahead. Warrants a market check. THUNDER GODDESS (6) looked in need of the experience when debuting at Lingfield a few weeks ago. Might improve from that outing. One to watch for the future. ROOM FOURTEEN (5) managed to take a step forward when third last time at Lingfield in December. Could play a role.

Was at big odds at debut, second last of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on March 2 over 2400m, 30 len behind Charles Darnay carrying 52.5kg at $41. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 11 at Lingfield All Weather December 2 over 1600m, 4 len behind Knight Of Glory carrying 58kg at $17. On debut sixth of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather October 13 over 1600m, 8 len behind Lizzana carrying 58kg at $101. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work.

At debut, second last of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on March 5 over 1600m, 6 len behind Folk Pageant with 49kg at $23. Better for that experience but happy enough to avoid.
