Based on the total ratings and the comments, here is the ranking and analysis of the horses in the 6.00 Wetherby :

·

  1. Bonkersinabundance (IRE) – Total: 313.0
    Despite her record of 0-6, Bonkersinabundance leads the field in total ratings, suggesting a strong performance potential for this race. The Newmarket-based horse didn’t fare well in her last race at Nottingham, but a return to a 7-furlong distance could suit her better. The fact that she has already had a race this season is also beneficial, as she might be fitter than some of her rivals.
  2. Powerful Response (IRE) – Total: 275.9
    Powerful Response is second in the total ratings. He is not particularly solid based on novice form, but the transition to handicapping and the fact that he has been gelded since his last race suggests potential for improvement. His second start for a new stable could also factor in.
  3. H Key Lails – Total: 272.2
    H Key Lails ranks third in total ratings. He has shown progress on the AW this year, securing a win at Wolverhampton and a close second at Southwell, but struggled to transfer this form back to turf. It’s uncertain whether he can bring that form into this race.
  4. Midnight Flame (IRE) – Total: 251.9
    Midnight Flame ranks fourth in total ratings. Despite still being a maiden after six races, he finished a respectable fourth at Catterick on his seasonal debut and may be poised for a stronger performance with that run under his belt.
  5. Platinum Girl – Total: 242.3
    Platinum Girl comes in fifth in total ratings. She put up a good performance finishing second of 15 at Doncaster on her seasonal debut. Given that performance, she could be a contender in this race. She is related to several winners from this yard, suggesting a good pedigree for racing.

Additional Considerations:

  • Ubettabequick (IRE): Despite having a lower total rating, Ubettabequick is one to watch in this race. He has not performed well in his two starts on soft ground since his encouraging debut. But, transitioning to handicapping and starting off a mark of only 64, he could show significant improvement.
  • Tamay Girl (IRE): With some potential shown at maiden/novice level, she could improve now that she’s qualified for a mark. Being a half-sister to a dual winner for her connections also adds to her appeal.

Summary:
Bonkersinabundance leads the field in total ratings and could be a strong contender if she returns to form at the 7-furlong distance. Powerful Response and H Key Lails also rate highly, but their recent form casts doubt on their chances. Midnight Flame and Platinum Girl could also make an impact, with the latter showing promise in her recent race. Additional consideration should be given to Ubettabequick and Tamay Girl who could surprise based on their potential for improvement in handicapping.
