16.10 Wolverhampton: Venetias Dream @ 4/1 Bet365 - 4pts win
Venetias Dream was a massive eye-catcher on her most recent start three weeks ago here at Wolverhampton. That was also her Handicap debut and she travelled well enough in rear of the field but found herself then in some traffic problems in the home straight. She finished strongly when finally in the clear but had no chance with the winner in the end. She would have gone very close with a clear run though and should be poised to win soon judged on this performance. She's only 1lb up for her 3rd place there and I do expect her to take advantage of a lowly mark tomorrow in this Apprentice Handicap.
17.10 Wolverhampton: Thecornishcockney @ 14/1 Bet365 - 2pts win
This horse must be so frustrating for connections as it is one of the unluckiest horses in training I suppose. He is still a maiden after 22 starts, though he showed some really good performances in the recent number of weeks, particularly his last to runs are quite interesting. At Wolverhampton almost a month ago it looked as if Thecornishcockney finally could get off the mark when he was wearing a weird looking combination of different headgears for the first time. He made an impressive move from the rear of the field on the outside from 4f out to take the lead when the field approved the home straight while certainly travelling like the winner. He only had to pushed out to win his race but then somewhere from nowhere came the eventual winner Kittens passing Thecornishcockney to win with a bit of authority in the end. Kittens was simply too well handicapped this day but Thecornishcockney came still well clear of the rest of the field. He was raised by 3lb for this performance and confirmed this eye-catching run with another one at Lingfield then last week. He was simply in an unfavourable position when the pace increased and the leading pair kicked away in a slowly ran race, yet he finished enormously from an impossible position and wasn't far beaten in the end. Again a very good performance in my ind and I do think this horse is actually better than the bare results suggesting. He steps up in trip tomorrow again and should run a good race. I think he surly will outran his price.
19.40 Wolverhampton: Kingswinford 8/1 Betfair - 3pts win
Still an All-Weather maiden but there is surly not an issue with this surface. He ran more than well in his last two AW starts, I'm happy enough to ignore the Doncaster form in between btw... Kingswinford ran a mighty race earlier this month here at Wolverhampton anyway, travelling beautifully and probably would have won the race with a bit more assistance from the jockey which was an inexperienced apprentice unfortunately. After that came the poor Doncaster run but most recently then another good performance on the AW, then at Kempton, back over 7f, when Kingswinford stayed on very well on the outside which suggests that he may want a bit further now as he already proved to stay further anyway. He's now 3lb up in the mark but I'm not so concerned about that. With George Baker is a decent jockey booked for the ride which should be a big help for the horse.
