Afternoon Nap to thump rivals in Boxing Day Stayers at Sittingbourne
Afternoon Nap is enjoying a decent spell these days, and looks very well capable of crushing the rivals in Boxing Day Stayers at Sittingbourne. Winning two of the previous three races shows how good momentum he is in.
After doing the goods at Hove, the black dog reached here at the start of this month. By making a wonderful solo outing, he gained good momentum, which he subsequently used on December 9th.
His strategy to go wide worked well, as he avoided all the mess. Kept running furiously, R. Pattinson’s charge took lead at the fifth bend. He did not make any error afterwards and, with the help of an outstanding finish, the dashing hound claimed the victory
by five and a quarter lengths.
The 2-year-old was just an unlucky loser on his penultimate outing. He could not capture the first place even after taking a fine start. But despite getting bumped more than once, he ran well to seize the second spot, missing the top prize only by 1¾ lengths.
The son of Ace Hi Rumble put his campaign back on the winning ways last week, when beating Tullymurry Verse by a short head’s distance. He was racing over 480 metres after a while, but still made a splendid effort.
Having produced good results over various distances, Afternoon Nap is full of momentum. So, no one should expect him to make blunders this afternoon. Among his opponents are:
Westmead Armour, Bush Whitney, Verdun Sunset, Humble Times, and Droopys Roulette. The successful hound will be given a handsome prize of 300 pounds.
Bush Whitney would be one of the leading contenders on pick of her form. The black b***h travelled nicely in the fresh trials, covering 480 metres in a calculated time of 29.32 seconds.
Westmead Armour is a strong sort, and can pick his way past these late. But the black dog needs to bounce back after suffering a humiliating loss at Monmore. Humble Times is improving day by day, but needs a special effort to be on top.
Droopys Roulette makes task tougher by turning in arrears. Verdun Sunset must dig deep when the pressure mounts. Good luck to all the hounds.
