Wolverhampton Race 7

Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $46,494

RIBBLE VIBE (6) is racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts past four starts including when second at Newcastle AW last time. Holds winning course and distance form. May go one better. SAX APPEAL (5) is also consistent. Brings one success and four placings last six outings. Was second at Kempton Park AW last month and warrants thought as expected to challenge. ENEMY (3) secured a good 1.5L triumph providing most recent appearance at Southwell AW New Years Day. Might double up. BRASIL POWER (4) cannot be discounted after placing third running behind the top pick at Newcastle AW.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Southwell All Weather on December 12 over 3300m, 18 len behind Blazeon Five carrying 64.5kg at $4.50. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on October 22 over 3220m, 7 len behind Sheradann carrying 64.5kg at $10. Can't recommend on that form.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on January 16 over 3300m, 6 len behind Duke Of Oxford carrying 60kg at $9. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at this track December 26 over 2400m defeating Paradias carrying 60kg at $4.30. Nicely placed and is worth including.
