Divot at Wolverhampton 20:10 - tips, betting and prediction

It's set to be an exciting matchup at Wolverhampton today for the 'Race 5 HighBet 30 Free Sports Bonus Handicap' at 20:10. Kicking off our picks is Divot, a 3-year-old gelding under the guidance of jockey Brandon Wilkie and trainer W J Knight. Despite not finding the winner's circle in recent outings, Divot is holding a steady price at 5.0, reflecting what can be seen as value odds given the conditions. His form might not awe you (having not won in recent races), but given the standard conditions at Wolverhampton and his age, there might just be a surprise in store. Paragon, another 3-year-old gelding, could be the one making the betting crowd a bit nervous with a shorter price of 2.5. Positioned in the race by jockey S De Sousa and trained by A M Balding, Paragon's more active recent race schedule and decent trainer form (a 22% strike rate over the last 30 days) hints at potential that shouldn't be discounted easily. However, he's yet to turn those frequent runs into a win, which might give bettors a moment's pause. At the longer end of the odds, we have Helaali listed at a whopping 51.0. Certainly the outsider, this 3-year-old gelding piloted by Joey Haynes and trained by Alice Haynes has battled to make an impact over recent months. Those extremely long odds might be tempting for a speculative punt, but his track record suggests it would be a long shot in more ways than one. While Divot hasn't topped the charts lately, the setup at Wolverhampton could just play to his advantages today. Keep an eye on Paragon as a serious contender but remember, the predicted winner here is Divot! Best of luck, and remember to bet responsibly!
