Buck Breeze tipped to win Thetote.com Handicap Hurdle
Buck Breeze is tipped to win Thetote.com Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel in Ireland on Thursday, April 5, 2012. The winner of the race will bag a cash prize of €5,520.
Going will be good in the 2 mile 100 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 5:25 GMT, and a total of 14 runners have been attracted towards it. Following are the confirmed participants: Eveningofelegance, Charleville, Mount Welcome, Pretty Happy, Buck
Breeze, Doux Douce, Carlowsantana, Game Hall, Cranky Corner, Hu Ha Jo, Yachvili, Cerca Trova, Inner Voice and Mill Moss.
Buck Breeze has got a lot of experience, thus the bookies have awarded him with such good odds for the race. His recent form has also been good, which will encourage the bettors to risk money in his favour.
The 12-year-old gelding has participated in 22 races over hurdles, winning just a couple of them. Although his strike rate is poor, he has managed to secure two runners up spots and one third place finish.
Thomas Foley’s trainee is quite a capable runner, but will need a clear run in order to fight for victory today. He will be partnered by Miss A. Foley, who is an inexperienced rider and will need a special effort to make an impression in the race.
Another experience runner, Carlowsantana, will also be the one to watch out for, as he has been performing decently in recent times. He has taken part in 22 races over hurdles, winning a couple of them and finishing runner up on three occasions.
This goes onto show that the nine-year-old will manage to cause a few problems for the race favourite today. He finished third in his most recent outing, thus the punters will look to place a lot of bets in his favour.
S. T. Nolan’s trained gelding will be partnered by young jockey, I. J. McCarthy, who is yet to win any race over hurdles.
Other than the top two favourites, Mount Welcome will also be a close contender for victory. He has won just once over hurdles out of 19 attempts and has not been in great form recently.
Eveningofelegance and Charleville also have the potential to fight for victory, but they will have to be at their absolute best in order to do so.
