Bhaltair looking for an upset in Geoff Proctor Farewell Handicap Chase
Bhaltair will be looking to cause an upset in the Geoff Proctor Farewell Handicap Chase at Haydock in England on Wednesday, October 31, 2012. He has been inconsistent over the past few months and will require a special effort in order to bag a cash prize
of £3,249 from the class-4 encounter.
A total of seven runners have been attracted towards the 2 mile event, which is scheduled to kick off at 16:25 GMT. This means that the start will not matter much and the one who saves energy for the ending moments will have an edge in the end.
There has been some rain at Haydock, which has made the conditions good to soft. This will definitely make an impact in the class-4 contest, but it will not be a big one at the end of the day.
Considering the entire situation, the bookmakers have priced Tahiti Pearl quite highly, despite the fact that he does not have an impressive record. He is a decent performer and is carrying the winning momentum right now. Due to this his confidence level
will be good and the punters will be interested in risking some bets on him.
However, the eight-year-old gelding brought up his previous victory under different conditions and things will be a touch difficult for him today. He will have to be at his absolute best in order to make his team proud.
The Sue Smith’s trainee has appeared in nine chase events, winning two of them whereas finished as a runner up on the same number of times. In addition to that, he has also secured the third spot once, which shows that he has the ability to battle for the
top-three positions.
On the other hand, Bhaltair will be looking to steal the show today and the punters should definitely risk a few bets on him as well. He has been unable to deliver strong results with consistency throughout the 2012 season, but he cannot be ruled out completely.
The Donald McCain’s trainee ended up in fourth place last time around and will need a significant improvement in order to cause an upset at Haydock. His partner will be veteran jockey, Jason Maguire.
