'He's a potential handicap blot' - our man's three all-weather wagers
With the weather disrupting racing on Saturday, Robbie Wilders shares three all-weather selections at Wolverhampton
4.20 Wolverhampton
Talksport Powered By Fans Restricted Maiden Stakes, 5f
Turbo Tiger and Carlotta are rated 72 and set the standard in this 5f maiden, although with nine runs between them it would be a slight disappointment if one of the less-exposed runners in the field is unable to improve past them.
Remunerator could manage only seventh over 6f on her debut here five days ago, but produced an eyecatching effort from the widest draw in stall 12 after being hampered a couple of furlongs out and can build on that.
It is significant trainer George Boughey is willing to turn her out so quickly and dropping a furlong in trip with top jockey Jim Crowley taking the ride is an interesting move.
5.50 Wolverhampton
It's Time To Turn To Talksport EBF Fillies' Handicap, 7f
The best horse running at Wolverhampton on Saturday is the 91-rated Manaafith and she should take some beating if bouncing back in this 7f handicap.
Manaafith was sent off at just 15-2 to beat the likes of Chil Chil, Gale Force Maya and Primo Bacio, who are all rated in the mid-100s, in a 6f Listed race at Newmarket last time but lacked the toe to get involved.
While last of the 14 runners that day, Manaafith is still unexposed after just five runs and deserves another chance back on the all-weather as she is a perfect three from three on synthetic surfaces. An extra furlong is another plus and she can defy top weight.
6.50 Wolverhampton
Spreadex Sports £300 Spread Betting Cashback Handicap, 1m½f
The finale on the card is wide open but My Brother Mike is a potential handicap blot and should go close if replicating his third-placed effort at Newcastle in November.
That Class 5 race was a stronger heat and this course-and-distance winner, who proved he was back in form there, drops in class off the same mark of 66.
A four-time winner in 2021, My Brother Mike was rated 75 in March, but has dropped 9lb in the ratings after some disappointing efforts on turf in the summer. That is despite running only once on the all-weather since and his profile suggests he is better in this type of race.
