Wolverhampton Race 3 - Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week Handicap
BRINTON (5) brings winning form after scoring at Bath over 1609m on 29 Apr and was a narrow 2nd here over 1739m prior, so looks the one to beat. ARLECCHINO'S REX (10) is a key chance back to 1905m after a head 2nd here on 17 Apr and a March win at this trip. WAVE ROCK (3) won over this C&D on 17 Feb and followed with a 2nd over 2460m here, so rates well dropping back in trip. BOOK OF LIFE (6) was 2nd here over 1739m last start and has a solid local record, while CRAFTER (7) was 3rd here over 1905m on 9 Apr and maps for another honest run.
