Black Monk looking for an upset in 32Red Nursery
Black Monk will be looking to cause an upset in the 32Red Nursery at Kempton in England on Thursday, October 18, 2012. He has got a very good record, but needs to lift his strike rate in order to win the confidence of the bookies each time he lines up for action.
Speed will be important in the 6 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 19:30 GMT. The one who starts off well will definitely have an edge over the rest, as there will be lesser chances of making a comeback towards the end.
The going has been described as standard, but that might change in the class-3 contest, which has a cash prize of £5,822 for the winner. According to the weather forecast, there is a chance of some rain before start of action at Kempton. If this happens, the situation will change completely and some of the participants might withdraw their names from the entry list.
Looking at the current circumstances, the bookmakers have given the best odds of victory to Titled Gent, who has been doing a very good job for his team over the past couple of events. He will enter the race with a starting price of 9 to 4 and will definitely attract some bets from the punters.
The two-year-old colt made his debut in August this year and there were high expectations from him during his first outing. However, he was unable to make an impression and finished at the bottom of the table.
Despite that, the Richard Hannon’s trainee showed a lot of character and bounced back in his next couple of outings. He won them convincingly and will be eying a hat-trick today. He should not get carried away though and will have to be fully focussed in order to succeed.
On the other hand, Black Monk will not make life easy for his rivals in the race. He has been priced 10 to 1, but the bookies should definitely gamble a few bets on him. He has managed to win just once in his career until now, but has the ability to increase his winning percentage.
The talented colt has got a very good chance of making his team proud. He will be accompanied by veteran jockey, Ryan Moore for the first time in his career.
