Insane Volt

Barrier 13 · 130kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER23:4-4

Trainer:John Rolfe

Insane Volt has a decent win strike rate but is hampered by the widest barrier. If the jockey can navigate a clean run without expending too much energy, this horse has the talent to surprise, but it will be a tough ask.
