2.35 Wolverhampton No Mean Trick 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 12/1 (Stan James, Betpack, guaranteed, Blue Square, 888 Sport, Independents)
No Mean Trick is probably not easy to train, with just 22 starts as a seven year old meaning he is lightly raced for a horse of his age. He has ability, though, and has won three times in fourteen all weather starts. The selection possesses plenty of speed and travelled quite well last time out at this track at the end of December. His trainer has had a poor year, and seems to have kept very few going during the winter. With two recent runs behind him, fitness doesn't worry me and as a Southwell winner, I expect him to enjoy the slow going at Wolverhampton today - the surface is deeper having been harrowed to deal with the snow and may be more forgiving to a fragile horse than quicker polytrack. A mark of OR61 means he is very well handicapped and a draw in stall 2 means he should get a good position, and a tow into the race from Strong Man and Desert Strike. If he is in a good enough position a furlong from home, I'd expect place money at the very least.
Profit & loss: day: -6.00 / month: -29.49 / year: -29.49
