16.45 Wolverhampton: Who's Shirl @ 6/1 Bet365 - 3pts win

Who's Shirl is poised to win a race finally again. She really caught my eye two times in a row on the All-Weather at Wolverhampton npw and it's simply time for her to take advantage of a slipping mark if she finally gets a trouble free run. She finished 3rd in her penultimate race when she was travelling in rear and had to finish off very wide racing eight or nine wide turning for home. She stayed on very well though and wasn't far beaten in the end. It was a different story last time out when she was travelling best of all until 2f out but was then brought into all sort of trouble by her jockey. That's the only worry I have tomorrow actually as Kelly Harrison takes the mount again. Who's Shirl didn't win for two years now and is down to a very handy mark as a result of that racing off 8lb below her last (turf) winning mark. She's yet to win over 7f but I'm not really worried about that fact as she really ran on so well in her penultimate start when she had so much against her, so I feel the distance won't be an issue. It's noteworthy that she also raced once over 9f in her career - here at Wolverhampton, when she finished a very creditable 4th only 2½ beaten.
