Monday the 4th of February..

15.20 Wolverhampton: Yungaburra @ 5/1 Bet365 - 4pts win

This is a really poor race but Yungaburra stands out, no doubt. He's not getting any younger but he really is thriving at the moment, demonstrating his well-being with excellent performances in the last weeks. Just nine days ago he was probably a rather unlucky loser at Lingfield, travelling like a dream still hard on the bridle turning for home, Franny Norton looked to have loads of horse beneath him but simply didn't find a gap to unleash all the power this horse got. Only 1/2f out a gap finally opened, too late of course. This form looks very strong with the runners-up and 3rd place horse having already won subsequently.Yungaburra ran a huge race before that at Wolverhampton as well, finishing in good fashion from the back landing the the runners-up spot on a day when the track conditions made it difficult for horses coming from the rear of the field to quick and gain ground. The winner of that race won another one subsequently btw, franking this form. Yungaburra didn't get up in the mark for either run which is fair enough but obviously lenient as he's just 2lb above his last winning mark (won here at Wolverhampton last September with a bit in hand off 48). I'm very confident about this horse's chance in this race here tomorrow, only slight worry is the wide draw and that these races with that many runners can get a bit messy sometimes here around Wolverhampton. But as long as he gets a clear run he won't get beaten I feel.
