Back Wolverhampton’s Street Art
Trainer helped his breathing with the application of a new bit. A completely different proposition now and can win again.
The 7.10 Wolverhampton is a poor handicap but Street Art might be a bit better than this bunch.
He showed precious little on his first four starts (beating only three horses home) but than burst into life with a short-head victory at Kempton.
He benefited from racing at the front-end of a steadily run contest (112.2% finishing speed) but he still showed good speed to run away from everyone bar the runner-up. He finished 2.75 lengths ahead of the third horse (winner next time out) and clocked the fastest closing sectional.
Mike Murphy put the performance down to a new bit and it is interesting to see him in a tongue-tie for the first time, another tool to help his breathing.
Street Art is lightly raced, has plenty of headroom in his handicap mark and can win again.
