Boogie Shoes favourite for Investec Mile Handicap
Boogie Shoes has got a solid chance of winning the Investec Mile Handicap at Epsom in England on Friday, June 1, 2012. The winner of the class-2 event will walk away with a cash prize of £15,563.
The going will be good in the 1 mile 114 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 15:25 GMT, and a total of 17 runners will be seen in action in it. Their names are as follows: Boogie Shoes, Unex El Greco, Moone´s My Name, Highland Knight, Norse Blues,
Prince Jock, Capaill Liath, Mawaakef, Forceful Appeal, Roayh, Don´t Call Me, Dunn´o, Kay Gee Be, Starwatch, Axiom, Field Of Dream and Deire Na Sli.
Stamina will play a vital role in determining the winner of the race, as the distance to cover is quite long. This will certainly work in favour of Boogie Shoes, who can be dominant in such conditions.
The four-year-old gelding has entered seven races until now, winning three of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he has also secured the third spot on a couple of times, which suggests that he is fully capable of fighting for top
positions.
Importantly, the Roger Varian’s trainee has been in excellent form over the past couple of events, thus the punters will be encouraged to place a lot of bets in his favour. He was victorious in his penultimate run and has the ability to repeat the
same sort of a show in today’s race as well.
Boogie Shoes will be ridden by Neil Callan, who is a seasoned jockey. He has won quite a few races at this level, but does not have an impressive strike rate at all. He will be looking forward to a solid run at Epsom today.
The bookies also expect Highland Knight to make a solid impression in the race, as he has got a decent record at this level. He is a touch inconsistent though, which will discourage the punters from placing bets on him.
The five-year-old gelding has participated in 16 events until now, winning a couple of them and finishing runner up on the same number of times. However, his recent form is not good, which means Boogie Shoes will manage to win comfortably.
