Wolverhampton Tips: Fleckerl
Dangerously well handicapped on his best form and ran with much more zest last time. Fastest closer by 0.58s.
Fleckerl has largely been out of form this winter but as a result he’s tumbled down the handicap. With his last win coming off a mark of 85, he looks well treated off a mark of 70.
Last time out there was more than a glimmer of hope, as Fleckerl finished like a train to grab third at Wolverhampton. In rear after fluffing the start, he managed to tag onto the back of the pack and was still on the bridle turning for home.
Despite not getting the clearest of runs, he covered the final 2f in a rapid 23.44s, the fastest in the race by 0.58s.
In defeat he earned an adjusted speed rating of 71, good enough to win in this grade and if he breaks on terms from a favourable draw he should win.
