Wolverhampton racing tip (1625): Reputation to return to form at a massive price

1625 Best racing odds guaranteed at BetMGM Handicap

Reputation has been a fine servant to connections with six wins and 14 places from 58 starts.

His winning marks have been between 73 and 90 over six furlongs and seven furlongs and he’s been a model of consistency, even after almost two years off from 2020 to 2022.

During that return in the 2022 season, he finished in the first three in 7 of his 9 races, including a win on his final start off of a mark of 75.

However, this season things haven’t gone so well. He made a belated return in August and has been unplaced in all three starts, including finishing lame after his second run.

His latest start over one mile was too far for him, so was probably a conditioning run. Today he races off of a mark of 70 over an ideal distance and after a three-week break is sure to suit.

Reputation has been dealt the outside draw, but he likes to be dropped in so this shouldn’t be an issue, especially considering there looks to be plenty of pace in the race, so it should be run to suit a hold-up horse.

James Sullivan, his regular rider knows him well, so we have the right man in the saddle and there’s an argument to be made that this price is way too big.

Suggested bet: Reputation each-way in the 16:25 at Wolverhampton
