Wolverhampton AW Code Breaker

I will attempt to articulate the Wolverhampton All Weather Code Breaker for the selections I make on the shorter priced horses. The huge priced horses I back to small stakes, fall between the cracks of my usual Dunstall Park selection process, so lets focus on the main bets for the evening and the strategy involved with trying to decipher the AWR Wolver card.

❖ Jockeys ❖ I have a few to look at for this evening at Wolverhampton. The two jockeys I'm relying on are young superstar jock Billy Loughnane and the old experienced warhorse Luke Morris

❖ Trainers ❖ The most prolific trainers I'm focusing on with runners later are Mark Loughnane and Ian Williams, with George Boughey and Archie Watson right in behind them.

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Draw considerations come into play sharply at Wolverhampton for the 7pm(5f), 8pm(7f), 9pm(6f) sprints. The 8:30(8f) over the mile is also draw dependent. I Will be looking for a low draw (1~5) in all races.

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ If anything matches up all three parameters above, give it a close look on form.
• ❖ Anything that matches up two from three, very carefully check the form also.
• ❖ Also make sure nothing has been thrown into the race with an obvious advantage.
• ❖ Beware any Sir Mark Prescott horses running at strange distances. My selections will be posted below.

Wolverhampton Betting Analysis

7:00 Wolverhampton ❖ The 7:0 nursery is only a 5 runner. Calafiori is an odds on fav at 5/6. He'll probably win seeing as he has the best form on offer, but Campenaerts is a danger and not a bad price at 9/2 in this small field to be honest. Not for me though, I'll watch them run and move on.

8:00 Wolverhampton ❖ Blue Empress (7/1) is interesting from a price viewpoint.

It's a 3yo only handicap, so not a vast amount of form to go on. She does though, have some reasonable form on the book. Definitely dissapointing lately, hence the falling mark, but has the aid of headgear and Luke Morris in the saddle today, so I'm hopeful she'll not over race like she did at Brighton last time out.

At the 8/1 on offer in a winnable looking race, I'll chance it as a tentative section, because she could well be overpriced from a plum draw in trap two.

8:0 Wolv ~ Win Bet: 7/1 Blue Empress (4th 13/2) Led, headed 4f out, led 3f out, headed over 1f out, no extra towards finish, 4th.

8:30 Wolverhampton ❖ A maiden handicap where I'd like to be able to make a case for 16/1 shot Invincible Storm ridden by Luke Morris, or indeed the 25/1 shot Tobys Time for the Billy Loughnane/Mark Loughnane combination, both well drawn, but there's nothing formwise to connect with. I'll sit this one out.

# No Bet.

9:00 Wolverhampton ❖ sees Ballsgrove Boy (3/1) come here with a decent chance of victory.

He's well drawn and has Billy Loughnane on board, but makes the odd mistake from the gate and would have been a tentative selection at 6/1, but at the 3/1 on offer I'll watch to see what beats him.
