Wolver 4.40 Wild Sauce place lay ( Subject no no further n/r's). Curent lay price 1.49
Could be a dodgy bet, but my notes have her down as nervy and possible short runner, so I was surprised to see her entered in a 6f maiden, unless the intention is to get a h/cap mark. The sire stats for 6f for this time of year were worringly very good although the 5f stat is outstanding.
The other issue I had is why Tom Eaves is not riding, either stable fancy it and won't let Eaves carry 1/2lb over, or he's not fancied and on a h/capping exercise, with Sullivan booked. I'm guessing on the latter.
Another possible problem is Sullivan may have to attempt to chase the pace anyway from stall 1, or risk coming around the outside, which would be a concern if there is an actually stamina issue.
I'm not committing to the lay until I'm certain there will be no more non runners, as there are already three n/r's and with traffic problems, there may be more, which would make it a no bet, as the opposition is thin on the ground.
Marcus Argustus initially looks one to oppose, moving from Hannon to Osborne for only 6k, but sire does well on surafce, his best runs have come when fresh and he may win running below his best anyway.
