Best Trip tipped to finish first in Sis Sprint (Handicap)
The Brian Ellison trained bay gelding, Best Trip, will make an amazing trip to Ascot racecourse where he is supposed to test his racing credentials in the Sis Sprint (Handicap) on Sunday, July 22. The Class 2 contest over 5 furlongs will commence at 5:05 (GMT).
In the £28,013 race, the five-year-old veteran horse will run against 22 rivals on the good track. He has already experienced such type of conditions but with totally unimpressive records.
However, the talented son of Whipper out of Tereed Elhawa delivered some outstanding performances during the last couple of months. On May 28, the Limetree Stud bred maverick sprinter marvellously won the Watch Racing UK On Sky 432 Handicap over 6 furlongs at Carlisle.
The brilliant gelding moved ahead to finish first in the Commscope Solutions Your Trusted Advisors Handicap over 7 furlongs at Warwick on June 21. He completed his maiden hat-trick by lifting the ace title of the Bet On Euro 2012 At Totepool.Com Handicap over 5 furlongs at Carlisle.
These three back-to-back triumphs have spiked up the Best Trip’s confidence level to a great extent along with making him felt in the eyes of the bookmakers.
In his last outing on July 5, the experienced gelding finished 10th against 14 rivals. These stats show that Best Trip will run to his best in the coming contest. He has up to 90 percent chances to thrive.
Among his rivals, Jack Dexter seems to be potential runner. The Jim Goldie trained bay and brown gelding started his career on April 8, 2012, getting the runner-up rank in his maiden outing. He went on to break his maiden in the 12-runner race of Racing UK Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 6 furlongs at Thirsk on April 21.
The son of Orientor out of Glenhurich again grabbed a grand victory in the Investec Structured Products Handicap at Chester on May 10. The novice runner finished 3rd in his last start on the good track of Ayr. Thus, he is awash with confidence at the moment.
In this situation, Best Trip and Jack Dexter will fight neck-to-neck for victory. Let us see who seals the title.
