8:10 Wolverhampton Horse Racing prediction

Masterson might seem to be the right favorite, as he's unbeaten in all weather yet, he's the least exposed competitor of the race and he'll ride with his usual jockey. But, let's not forget he raced with quite mediocre groups so far and his only win in Wolverhampton was within a quite bad group of horses. Lady Makfi and Little Stampy seem to be legitimate competitors on the paper, but not so much in reality for me. Both of them are mares, so distance might be a problem amongs male horses. Lady Makfi already had a long break and returned from it with quite a disappointing performance and she had to pause one more time. Whereas Little Stampy might have shining numbers in Wolverhampton, but this group is much harder than all of the ones she had been raced against in this course. 

Zakatal might seem to have an inconsistent form, but it mainly depends which groups he ran against. This year he had been either placed, or won, when he ran in such caliber of groups, even slightly stronger ones, and stayed irrelevant when he competed against much higher caliber of groups. His record in Wolverhampton at the races with distance bigger than 2m is 2-1-2-2 (Last three of them were in last couple years and couple of those races were in slightly better groups.) and 2-1-5 with his jockey Dougie Costello. All in all, favorites are not convincing me and Zakatal to be a legitimate challenger is priced a bit highly to my taste. There is enough value to spend medium stakes.
