Neil Morrice shares all of his best bets and tips for Monday’s racing coming your Wolverhampton on 5 January 2025.
WOLVERHAMPTON
Race 2 No5 KODEBREAKER ( Each Way)
Trainer: Michael Herrington – Jockey: Zac Wheatley
Although his last win happened 18 months ago, KODEBREAKER signalled with a near miss at this course two runs back that he’s capable of stopping the rot. He’s a speculative advice, but from a good draw can get something out of this race round a circuit of Dunstall Park.
Race 4 No4 ALBA GU BRATH
Trainer: Charlie Johnston – Jockey: Callum Shepherd
A plunge on ALBA GU BRATH went astray at Newcastle when the Study Of Man colt ran into a very smart foe. His forcing tactics might well be applied again, but his jockey needs to circumnavigate a tricky draw, and will also need to be alert at the gate.
Race 5 No5 NEW BAY STAR
Trainer: Charlie Johnston – Jockey: Jack Mitchell
NEW BAY STAR troubled the judge on the last three of four starts in 2025, putting in his best effort on sole AW outing at Chelmsford. With cheek pieces added, he can utilise his experience edge to open his account.
Race 9 No7 COLOURS OF FREEDOM (Nap)
Trainer: Joe Ponting – Jockey: Gina Mangan
Three times course winner COLOURS OF FREEDOM has put in a number of earning efforts here including near misses on his last two outings. He looks a bet worth waiting for in the finale.
Place Accumulator Perm (Races 3-9)
