Alborz expected to be dominant in Davies Pharmacy Juvenile Hurdle
Alborz seems to be in an ideal position to claim the Davies Pharmacy Juvenile Hurdle at Ffos Las in England on Monday, December 17, 2012. His rivals have not raced in this format, thus it will be a difficult task for them to fight for a victory.
However, the young runners should not get carried away, as anything can be possible in the class-4 encounter. He will have to stay focussed from the start until the end otherwise his opponents will not make life easy for him.
It will not be easy for the participants to push hard in the 2 mile long race, as the ground has been affected by rain. Therefore, the going has become heavy and there is a chance of sustaining an injury under these conditions.
A total of five runners have been attracted towards the £2,599 event, scheduled to kick off at 12:45 GMT, but there is a chance that some of them might opt to sit out because of the wet ground.
The organisers have been trying hard to keep things under control, but they will need the weather to improve. If the temperatures keep on dropping before the start of action, it will be difficult to give a green signal to the race.
If the conditions do not worsen, the punters will look to risk the maximum number of bets in favour of Alborz. He is a highly talented runner and knows the technique to deliver a winning result over hurdles.
Therefore, the bookmakers will definitely rate him as the favourite to succeed, as they do not seem to have many options other than him. They will still look at someone like Rio De Sivola, who has a good pedigree and could spring up a surprise in the end.
However, it will be extremely difficult to beat Alborz, especially on a wet track at Ffos Las. He likes running under these conditions and has been delivering some solid results over the past few months.
Overall, the Tim Vaughan’s trainee has participated in four hurdles, winning one of them whereas secured the third spot twice. Therefore, his confidence level will be good. Moreover, he will be accompanied by veteran jockey, Richard Johnson, who knows how
to handle pressure at this level.
