Vlasta Weiner can take the opener on Wolverhampton's card with Countrywide Star and Emperor Cat the dangers. Vlasta Weiner was beaten by Countrywide Star on their last meeting at Dunstall Park but Milton Bradley's charge has beaten Sharp Hat since and the stable's team look to be just about coming to some assemblance of form.If popped out early, there is to be a major chance that Vlasta Weiner can steal the race at an early juncture. Both Countrywide Girl and Emperor Cat have worse draws to contend with than Vlasta Weiner with eleven and twelve held respectively. Course and distance winner, Mr Bountiful may be the more realistic danger. He stays seven furlongs well around here and dropped a heavy hint when fourth at Lingfield last time out. Colloseum would have a chance if rescuing his ability to trap from the boxes while Spark Up looks to have lost her way of late. Vlasta Weiner secures the nod in a race where many chances are held.
