2.15 Wolverhampton Pearl Noir 5pts win @ 11/2 (Generally guaranteed)
Pearl Noir ran better than his finishing position suggests last time out in a six furlong class 5 event at Lingfield. The selection was in front coming into the final bend, but blew the turn completely in what looked a lapse of concentration to this observer. He hasn't won over six furlongs yet, but two wins since July and a couple of decent performances in between suggest to me that he is an improving sprinter at the age of four. He rallied well at Lingfield and wasn't beaten far into fifth, but can still race in class 6 events of this mark of OR59. The 5lb claimer who rode him that day is replaced today by Luke Morris, who knows the horse well. I would expect him to sit on the lead and stack them up in behind, or perhaps forfeit the lead and sit handy, to conserve stamina over this distance. He has enough speed and is in good enough form to beat a poor bunch of sprinters here, who are largely out of form or just gearing up for winter campaigns. The 11/2 generally available looks fair for this class dropper.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -30.00 / year: +188.75
