Astros Rocket to show furious pace in Ladbrokes.com 416 at Monmore
P. Burford’s veteran hound, Astros Rocket, ought to have blown away a few cobwebs in Thursday’s Ladbrokes.com 416 at Monmore. The black and white dog is due to start from the red box - something that can help him take an early advantage.
Although the son of Astronomic, out of Joys Gift, is not a regular runner at the open level, this race looks an ideal chance for him. He made a few wonderful efforts in trials, but failed to carry forward the momentum in a competitive race last week.
Lack of luck was probably the biggest reason behind his trouncing. He could not recover after getting crowded at the first bend and as a result, nothing notable came to him. His supporters need not to be worried though, because today’s race offers him a
great chance.
Putting the rivals under pressure by taking a handsome lead early on will be the key to success in this race. If Astros Rocket succeeds in breaking well, he will be in a great position to dominate the proceedings from pillar to post. A flawless effort, however,
is required to outclass the opposition.
Among his opponents are: Goa Getta, Goes Bang, Andlyns Asabat, Droopys Cinders and Kickupyourheels. The 416 metres flat race carries a cash prize worth £150, which will be given to the ultimate champion.
The bettors need to make their moves quickly, as the drama is about to begin. According to the preset plan, the race will be kicked off at 20:42 GMT.
Goes Bang recently showed enough to win a race of this nature. An all out effort, however, is needed to do the trick tonight. Andlyns Asabat enjoyed mixed fortunes in the recent weeks. Since he is inconsistent, we are reluctant to recommend him.
Goa Getta failed to build on early win, and displayed a few below par efforts lately. The black dog belongs to an in-form kennel, and cannot be written off. Droopys Cinders has a tricky draw to overcome. Moreover, he strike-rate is not impressive. Only an
inside crowding can help Kickupyourheels do some damage.
Goa Getta is well trained by C. Allsopp, and will be a major player. However, any crowding will be helpful for Astros Rocket’s cause. Good luck to all the hounds.
