Here's a rundown of Pete's three main picks from wonderful Wolverhampton on Friday, March 11.
19.45 Wolverhampton - Zain Sarinda
Pete thinks that Zain Sarinda is the main attraction in the Watch Racing Free Online At Coral Novice Stakes.
A course and distance win on this Tom Clover trained three-year-old's second start is great prep for this.
Jack Mitchell gets the leg up and here are a few reasons why Zain Sarinda can do the business in the Midlands.
"Now was a course and distance winner 53 days ago, comes into this under a small penalty, I'm not too bothered about that.
There's more improvement to come. The debut at Kempton wasn't brilliant but the performance last time around very much was.
So at a decent price I think it's well worth taking on plenty in this race with a very tasty sort of Zain Sarinda."
20.15 Wolverhampton - Government
Pete is going with a bit of class in the Coral Proud To Support British Racing Handicap.
Owned by Qatar Racing, this Carvaggio gelding won nicely over a mile last time around at Southwell.
Trained by Hugo Palmer who will soon take over at Michael Owen's stables, Government can score and here are a few of the reasons why Pete says he will.
"Was looking pretty poor at Southwell in the opening couple of runs, however then was gelded and wore a visor last time around.
On top of that, made a step up in trip and looked so much more comfortable, won at Southwell on the back of all that.
Now moves over to Wolverhampton for the first time in the career but that gelding does seem to have made a big big difference."
Not for catching - @CierenFallonJr gives Government a positive ride to shed the maiden tag at @Southwell_Races for @hpalmerracing and @Qatar_Racing... pic.twitter.com/j3ldgAkvDl

17.45 Wolverhampton - Mops Gem
The bare form figures don't put Pete off Mops Gem in the Read Ross O'Sullivan On Betway Insider Handicap.
The course and distance win in February last year shows that the four-year-old Filly has a bit of a liking for the course.
Frederick Larson gets the ride and here is a snippet of why Pete thinks this one can mop up.
"Now Mops Gem, to me, looks a little bit under the radar and can kind of see why. Was very poor on the turf out at Leicester last time around, struggled at Chelmsford, struggled at Kempton.
However, here at Wolverhampton, back to back very good wins, finished third of seven in a seven furlong run a couple of months ago.
Before that though, over this trip, was a very impressive winner so Mops Gem for me looks like a very good way to complete any of your selections on Friday at Wolverhampton."
