Bellapais Abbey tipped to win Casino At bet365 Novices´ Hurdle
Bellapais Abbey is all set to prevail in the Casino At bet365 Novices´ Hurdle at Sedgefield in England on Wednesday, May 23, 2012. The winner of the class-4 event will be awarded a cash prize of £2,534.
The going will be good in the 2 mile 1 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 18:00 GMT. A total of 12 runners have lined up for action at Sedgefield and their names are as follows: Sud Pacifique, Ivan Vasilevich, Seren Gris, Bellapais Abbey,
Lord Luso, Rikki Tikki Tavi, Sharp Sovereign, Roseville Cottage, Dodge The Bullet, Willy C, Snow Alert and Gulnaz.
At the moment, the best chances of victory appear to be with Bellapais Abbey, as he seems to be in great form right now. He has been doing a decent job over the past few events, thus the punters will be encouraged to place the maximum number of bets
in his favour.
The six-year-old gelding has participated in four races over hurdles until now, winning just one of them and finishing third on the same number of times. This means that he only failed to make it to the top three on a couple of occasions.
Although the David Brown’s trainee does not have a good strike rate, he has the tools to deliver a winning run at Sedgefield. He is carrying a very good momentum, winning his previous race at this venue in March this year. He will just need some luck
to work in his favour today.
Bellapais Abbey will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Gerard Tumelty, who has won just 16 races over hurdles. His strike rate is poor, which will discourage the punters from risking money on him. He will need to make a significant improvement in order
to claim the Casino At bet365 Novices´ Hurdle.
On the other hand, Sud Pacifique is the one, who has earned the confidence of the bookies for this race. He has just participated in one race over hurdles and was unable to prevail in it. However, he still managed to finish third, which shows that
he has the potential to deliver a winning run.
The four-year-old gelding has will be partnered by veteran jockey, Jason Maguire, who has won 252 races over hurdles.
