Calm Bay likely to prevail in KC Civils Supporting Naas Hurling Handicap
Calm Bay has a great chance of winning the KC Civils Supporting Naas Hurling Handicap at Naas in Ireland on Wednesday, July 25, 2012. He will have to outperform 19 other runners in order to get a cash prize of €5,520.
The 5 furlong event will test the speed of the contestants, which will make things exciting for the spectators. The weather has remained good overnight, thus the conditions are yielding.
There are quite a few impressive runners scheduled to take part in the race, but the experience and recent form of Calm Bay puts him above others. He will definitely enjoy the track conditions at Naas, thus the bookmakers have given him a general starting
price of 10 to 1. He is carrying the winning momentum, which will encourage the punters to risk bets on him today.
The seasoned runner has participated in 56 events until now, which shows the amount of experience he has gained over the years. However, his strike rate is not impressive at all, as he has managed to win just three events until now. Although he has finished
as runner up on six times and secured the third place on seven occasions, yet he needs to be a lot more consistent in order to shine at the highest level.
The H. Rogers’ trainee made his debut back in July 2008 and had to wait for four races before bringing up his maiden victory. His success came at Dundalk, where he was priced 10 to 1 by the bookies. He had a mixed outing overall, but was able to gain the
lead towards the end.
Calm Bay won his next race in 2009, but had to wait for quite a long time before jumping to the top once again. This shows that he is not a consistent performer and needs ideal conditions to make an impression.
Medecis’ son was below par at the start of the 2012 season, but he found some form in his most recent outing. He was given a starting price of 7 to 1 back then and finished on top by just half a length in the end. He is expected to continue the same form
under jockey, Sam James.
