27/02/2008 15:00 Wolverhampton: Macademy Royal - 4th
Not a great race but interesting that a few horses turn up for new yards so there might be improvement in some of these. Nautical is one that isn’t improving he is an old war horse but at the age of ten he still hasn’t won a 5 furlong race so we can rule him out. Monashee Brave’s recent form is wretched as is Jabraan’s. Highland Song is interesting he likes to lead but any sort of pressure on him and he will dual for the lead and then tire badly and he won’t get things his own way today. Rann Na Cille is an infrequant winner although has claims on her run in handicapp over course and distance in October and must rate as the biggest danger to my pick. I think Macademy Royal is better than this, still relativley unexposed for whatever reason he hasn’t lived up to his early promise and finds himself rebuiliding his carrier at the Wigham stable. That is no bad place to be at the moment with winners flying in and if nothing else the change of scenary and different training methods could perk him up as he hardly needs to improve to win this poor race.
Macademy Royal to win
