Wolverhampton will host the 32Red Casino Claiming Stakes on 16th April, 2012. The six runners competing will race on a surface that has been labelled standard, and it will cover a distance of 7 furlongs and 32 yards for a purse
of £1,704.
Homeward Strut looks like he could comfortably land this race. He has been performing in a terrific manner, as he secured four placed positions out of six starts this season.
Trained by Frank Sheridan for owners, Mersey Racing and Bolingbroke Racing, the three-year-old gelding triumphed in the Play Bingo Free At Bluesq.com Handicap at Wolverhampton on 3rd February, 2012.
Mounted by Raul Da Silva, he entered the race with slim odds of 50 to 1, but still managed to break through all the barriers to come out as the victor. He finished ½ a length ahead of, Songbird Blues.
The son of Needwood Blade, out of mare Piccante, also bagged a magnificent victory in the Play Rainbow Riches At Bluesq.com Handicap at the same track on 17th February, 2012.
Ridden by the same jockey, he sped through the track and landed ½ a length ahead of the Daniel Mark Loughnane trained, Speedy Yaki.
In his most recent start at Wolverhampton, his performance was still commendable, as he secured a finish in third place in the Buy Your Civic From Brindley Honda Handicap on 14th April, 2012.
He lost the victory by a marginal difference of ¾ of a lengths to, Haaf A Sixpence.
Frank Sheridan is hopeful that the young runner will be able to claim a victory in this race. His previous victories materialised at Wolverhampton, so this track will definitely work in his favour.
Guava, daughter of Kyllachy, out of Spunger, will be making her seasonal debut in this race. She raced as a favourite with the odds of 6 to 4 in the Spiffing Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer Claiming Stakes at Wolverhampton on 10th
December, 2011.
Paired with jockey, Kieran O'Neill, she gave the race her all, and claimed the narrow victory over, Let Your Love Flow, by ½ a length.
It is speculated that Homeward Strut will down this race as his performances have been outstanding.
Guava could give him a tough time on the track and challenge his run. With her form and skill, she may beat him and stand first.
