Ace trio for Olbg Mares’ Hurdle – Cheltenham Preview
With the opening day (March 13) of Cheltenham Festival rolling pompously, the high-voltage race of Olbg Mares’ Hurdle is scheduled to start at 4:40 (GMT). The mega Class 1 contest of 2m4f distance contains huge prize money worth £39,389.
The entries for the significant event include Alasi, Dare To Doubt, Kells Belle, Our Girl Salley, Quevega, Shop Dj, Violin Davis, Golden Sunbird, What A Charm, Belle De Fontenay, Candelita, Cloudy Spirit, Dorabelle, Himayna, Ixora, Kentford Grey Lady, Swincombe
Flame, Tempest River, Terre Du Vent and The Strawberry One.
Out of these 20 runners, three mares named as Quevega, Alasi and Swincombe Flame seem to be in the most favourable positions to fight for top spot in the race.
Here we evaluate each of the threesome:
Quevega
The W. P. Mullins-trained bay mare’s career chart is adorned with victories. Making her debut in May 2007, the brilliant runner won five races in a row from September 2007 to April 2008.
The eight-year-old dashing sprinter bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs during February-March 2009.
The maverick mare again won four back-to-back races from March 2010 to May 2011. Interestingly, she ran for all the four times with favourite tags.
Overall, Quevega has won 11 out of her total 18 starts to date. Thus, she is carrying plenty of form and stamina at the moment. She will surely make a big impact in today’s venture, having 95 percent chances to finish first.
Alasi
Since October 2011, Paul Webber’s bay mare has been at the peak of her form. The eight-year-old talented runner registered a marvellous hat-trick by winning continuously from October 2011 to January 2012 while being a hot favourite.
The brilliant mare finished first again in her last outing on January 28. Overall, the 21-race veteran runner has 6 triumphs to her name.
Capitalising on her fresh momentum, she will surely run well today. Her chances to thrive are more than 85 percent.
Swincombe Flame
Nick Williams’ young mare has accomplished a number of milestones in her short career. After bagging two consecutive wins during February-March 2011, she again won two back-to-back races during the month of December.
The intelligent runner completed her hat-trick by winning a big race on January 14, 2012. Being 4-1 favourite, she finished third in her last outing on February 18.
This mare will also fight potentially for first position in today’s contest. Her chances to thrive are 90 percent.
Conclusion
Along with this trio, three of the other horses including Kentford Grey Lady, Our Girl Salley and Dare To Doubt also pose to be strong enough. Thus, there will be a tough battle among these six runners. The real contestants for the top spot will be Quevega
and Swincombe Flame. Good luck to all the runners.
