Wolverhampton Race 8 - Book To Stay Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Handicap
THREE SOCKS ON (6) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Charged home to win last run at Chelmsford and competing in a lower grade. Has a good draw. Is in good order and can run well. LET HER GO (5) First up after a break. Disappointing effort when 6th last start at Chelmsford. Should improve and facing a weaker grade. Shows good early pace. Can win. SMOKER BELLAMY (7) First run back from a 34 week spell. Got going late when 4th last start at Kempton and competing at a lower level of competition. Drawn beautifully. Winning hope. JUST CALL ME MO (8) Subpar when 7th last time at this track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has to be included.

Started $41.00 and was ordinary when 6th last time at this track and bit of extra work to do with more weight. Can't have today.

Odds of $67.00 and only fair when 7th last run at Southwell and has to carry more weight this time. One for the exotics.

Resuming after a spell. Was $67.00 and came in 4th last time at Kempton but facing a rise in trip. Should jump out and bowl along. Facing a difficult task.

First up today. Started at $17.00 and moderate showing when 6th last start at Chelmsford. Should improve and stepping down to a lower level. Great chance.

Fresh after a break. Flew home to win last run at Chelmsford and up against a less competitive field. Has early speed and positions nicely. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Resumes from a 34 week break. Started $5.50 and edged past some when finishing 4th last start at Kempton and facing less formidable opponents. Expecting a strong showing.

Started at $8.00 and below par performance when 7th last time at this venue. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Place at best.

First run back from a break. Started at $201.00 and was nothing special when 11th last run at Southwell but gets some weight relief. Likely to get back. Entitled to be big odds.
