Very competitive sprint, just what I like. Down to four in the short list.
Wunderbar Very promising sprinter. Very consistent speed horse, with good collateral figures. Likely favorite.
Gorgeous Win Ran wide from a wide draws at HV last twice. Good run in C2 at ST before that (241013-ST-10). Consistently good closing sectionals in good pace races. Has been troubled by wide runs, drawn wide again today. Has a good chance if he can save ground and finish off fast pace.
Raging Blizzard Just needed run first time out (241027-HV-10) but great ride by Avdulla from wide draw meant he saved ground and good effort to finish a close 3rd. Close 3rd next time behind Beauty Charge (241120-HV-08). Forget AW run LTO (241201-AW-07)
Bottemuptogether Lightly raced but proving to be a decent sprinter. Close form with Wunderbar (241013-ST-10). Didn't seem to stay 1400m LTO (241109-ST-07) but bled in that race. Well fancied today.
Wunderbar and Bottemuptogether are well fancied today though both likely to be underlays. I'm going for a small EW bet on Gorgeous Win. He has been plagued by wide draws this season, though the predicted fast pace today may allow him to go back onto the rail, save ground then use his good TOF to finish the race off well. Currently trading at 14/1 in the UK which is decent value in my book.
