Bonnie Prince Blue favourite for Marshal - tyregiant.com Handicap
Bonnie Prince Blue is expected to prevail in the Marshal - tyregiant.com Handicap at Beverley in England on Wednesday, June 13, 2012. The winner of the class-5 event will be awarded a cash prize of £2,588.
Speed will play a crucial part in determining the winner, as the overall distance to cover will be 7 furlongs and 100 yards. Furthermore, the going will be good to soft in the race, which is scheduled to start at 15:30 GMT.
A total of eight runners have been attracted towards the event and their names are as follows: Bonnie Prince Blue, Cottam Donny, Fenella Fudge, Lady Gar Gar, Meandmyshadow, Gadobout Dancer, Transmit and Eastward Ho.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Bonnie Prince Blue seems to be in better shape compared to all. He has been delivering some very good results over the past few events and has got a lot of experience. This will definitely encourage the punters to risk
a lot of bets on him.
The nine-year-old gelding has participated in 97 races until now, winning 12 of them and finishing runner up on the same number of times. Moreover, he has also secured the third place on 15 occasions, which shows that he has the skills to fight at the front
with consistency.
The Ian McInnes’ trainee has been performing well in recent times as well, which is a positive sign. He was victorious just a couple of events ago and took a couple of back to back runner up positions after that, which shows the kind of momentum he is carrying
at the moment.
In his most recent run, Bonnie Prince Blue was not rated as the favourite to win, but he still managed to trouble his opponents. A similar run will definitely put him into contention for another victory. He will be ridden by Daniel Tudhope, who has enjoyed
a lot of success at this level. However, his strike rate is on the lower side, which will discourage the punters from placing bets on him.
On the other hand, the bookies have shown more confidence in the abilities of Cottam Donny, who has never managed to win any race in his career. He has participated in just nine events and the best he could manage was the runner up spot on a couple of times.
