The Book Tickets at
Wolverhampton-Racecourse.co.uk Handicap (5.20) is, at best, a
moderate contest, in which it may be worth taking a chance on course
and distance winner Zapateado. The Zoffany filly won a similar
egg-and-spoon race, off a 6lb lower mark, for Richard Hughes here in
November and, although her subsequent efforts in claiming and selling
company were less encouraging, she appeared to show some improvement
on her debut for Karen George at Lingfield earlier this month.
Although only fourth of eight, she was
only beaten 1¼ lengths in that 0-70 contest at odds of 66/1, losing
two places close home. On her final start for Richard Hughes, she
finished last of five, beaten 12½ lengths, in a seller over course
and distance, so her most recent effort represented a huge
improvement. Dropped back into 0-60 company off a 2lb lower mark, she
looks to have every chance of regaining the winning thread. Tom
Marquand takes over from 5lb claimer Rhiain Ingram, which cannot be
viewed as anything but positive, so Zapateado must have a sporting
chance at decent odds.
Selection: Wolverhampton 5.20
Zapateado to win 7/1
