Wolverhampton - 5th Jan 2006

2:20 5f 216yds - pontins.com Handicap (Class 2)

11/4 Two Step Kid, 100/30 First Order, 7/2 Qadar, 6/1 Prince Tum Tum, 7/1 Night Prospector

I’m glad Two Step Kid makes a reappearance today.. A very distinctive horse he was a very promising 3yo and shaped as one to follow way back in 2004 when he first hit the scene.

Most of the other runners we’ve seen before. Each is fully exposed or has questions to answer. Two Step Kid is the stranger in the race but his odds are cramped and little else appeals (based on my tissue) with the exception of Night Prospector.

A liking for Wolverhampton (2/1/3 course record), the only runner likely to dominate the pace in the race and a good draw to boot yes he is likely to set the race up for someone else but presents a tantalising each/way and exotic action play that could pay at the prices..

Night Prospector (small win, large place bet)

a. Two Step Kid, b. First Order, c. Night Prospector d, Qadar, e. Prince Tum Tum

3:20 1m - pontinsbingo.com Conditions Stakes (Class 2)

Almost missed a notebook selection (forget to add the relevant email alert on GG.com)..

Areyoutalkingtome has a awesome turn of foot and is up to winning at group/listed class on the All Weather, but ... this is his first real test today..

Concerns.. yep, he steps up in trip and the tight bends of Wolverhampton are very different from the undulations of Lingfield, but he owns me nothing from following him last year so worth a primary bank bet

6 points win @ 3.25 Betfair..
