Race: Make The Move To Midnite Handicap (Class 6, 5f)
Date: Monday 2nd Feb 2026
We are at Dunstall Park for a standard 5f sprint. Class 6 handicaps are often a lottery, but the data for tonight’s 6.00 paints a very clear picture. We have a consistent performer at a good price, a dangerous top-rated improver, and a market leader that looks significantly under-priced.
Here is the no-nonsense verdict.
The Bet: COLORS OF FREEDOM (6/1)
If you are backing a horse in a 5f dash at Wolverhampton, you want two things: speed and consistency. Colors Of Freedom has both in spades.
Top Speed: He clocks the highest raw Speed Figure in the field at 63.6. In a race decided by fine margins, he is arguably the fastest horse here.
Knocking on the Door: His form figures read 2-2-2. He hasn’t just been placing; he’s been losing by a neck, a short head, and 1.8 lengths. He is doing everything right.
Course Form: He likes this track. He beat Forest Gunner here recently and holds a strong Head-to-Head record against the favourite My Genghis (beating him in their last three meetings).
At 6/1, he is the solid form choice. He travels well, he finishes strong, and he is due a win.
The Danger: WEE MARY (7/1)
The HorseRaceBase algorithm has highlighted Wee Mary as the clear top-rated horse (Total Rating 233.8), sitting nearly 7 points clear of the field.
She is a 4-year-old filly facing exposed veterans, and she comes here fresh off a win at Newcastle just 9 days ago. While her speed figure (58.9) is slightly lower than the selection, her unexposed profile and current winning form make her the biggest threat. If the veterans struggle to hold their pace, she will be the one picking up the pieces.
The Swerve: MY GENGHIS (11/4)
The bookies have My Genghis as the 11/4 favourite. The data suggests this is a terrible price.
Poor Ratings: On the HRB Total Ratings, he sits 7th out of 9 runners (195.1).
Declining Form: His last three runs read 8-5-8. Last time out at Chelmsford, he was beaten nearly 6 lengths by Flickas Girl.
Value: Why take 11/4 on a horse out of form when you can get 6/1 on Colors Of Freedom, who has beaten him comprehensively in recent starts? Avoid.
The Verdict
Win: COLORS OF FREEDOM (6/1)
Saver: Wee Mary (7/1)
Avoid: My Genghis (11/4)
