2.15 Wolverhampton (Due off 3.15): Make The Move To Midnite Classified Stakes (Class 6)
Kicking off the selections on Tuesday, should we get some racing today, will be the SECRET ROAD in the 2.15 at Wolverhampton, which is a Class 6 classified event over six furlongs. He showed significant improvement on his second start for James Owen, finishing a head second ten at Southwell on Sunday, and he looks primed to go very close here with a quick turnaround. Pat Cosgrave takes the ride on this occasion, and if in the same, he should post a very bold bid.
SECRET ROAD – 15/8 (Win) (NAP)
2.45 Wolverhampton (Due off 3.45): Make The Move To Midnite Classified Stakes (Class 6)
Next up for us will be THE COLA KID for Grace Harris and Tyler Heard, who’s set to run in the 2.45, which is the second division of the classified contest. He had excuses when well beaten at Kempton time out; however, before that, he had a string of good runs when hitting the frame to his name, three of the last four coming at this track. He’d have a big chance within this grade if he’s on a going day.
THE COLA KID – 5/1 (Each-Way)
3.45 Wolverhampton (Due off 4.45): Win £250,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap (Class 4)
The third selection of the afternoon is the Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole-trained DIAMONDONTHEHILL, who’s the mount of Saffie Osbourne in the 3.45 at Wolverhampton. I’m a big fan of Saffie in the saddle, and I think that she has another live chance here. The eight-year-old has been consistent as of late without getting his head in front, including when a length and a half behind the winner over course and distance last time out. He’s now a pound below his last winning mark and can make his presence felt here.
DIAMONDONTHEHILL – 10/3 (Win)
5.00 Southwell: Make The Move To Midnite Classified Stakes (Class 6)
It’s over to Southwell for the concluding selections, and this comes in the form of KNIGHT OF MAGIC, who’s another one for James Owen. Followers of the blog will know I’ve put this horse up several times, and whilst he’s still a longstanding maiden, he often hits the frame. This was once again the case at Southwell on Sunday, where he finished third of ten. He should have a race of this nature in him at some point, given his consistency without winning, and the booking of Luke Morris on the occasion has to be considered as a huge plus.
KNIGHT OF MAGIC – 5/2 (Win) (NB)
