Caterina preferred over Brown Pete and Thecornishcowboy in Lisadesign.co.uk Handicap at Folkestone
Brown Pete and Thecornishcowboy are undoubtedly the solid ones, but Caterina should be preferred especially after her good run on unfavourable terms last time. Without a shadow of doubt, Richard Hannon’s charge has a much better than her form figures suggest.
So, the bettors should keep an eye on her when it comes to stake money in the Lisadesign.co.uk Handicap at Folkestone on Tuesday, September 18th. The class 6 meeting is scheduled to begin at 17:20 GMT.
Eleven runners have entered the race in search of a cash prize worth £1,704. It will be run over one mile, one furlong and 149 yards. The going is good to firm for the crucial meeting, which is likely to produce plenty of thrill and excitement.
Caterina showed good improvement on her latest start. After being badly trounced in the Brewin Dolphin Cardiff Office Handicap at Chepstow, she did not lose determination, and displayed a decent performance at Newbury last time.
The class 5 Christopher Smith Associates Claiming Stakes saw her missing the podium by two and a quarter lengths. Although she could not trouble the leading trio, it was not a disgraceful defeat for the filly.
A drop in the grade is likely to work in her favour, and if she delivers her one hundred percent, no horse will be able to stop her from bagging the big prize.
Brown Pete is expected to make things tricky for Caterina. The maverick runner looked pretty impressive on his penultimate start, when finishing on top of the table at Yarmouth.
After securing a surprise win, the 4-year-old completely failed to continue his good work and as a result, finished fourth at Goodwood at the end of last month. It will be interesting to see how he handles things on his debut for new trainer, Violet M. Jordan.
Thecornishcowboy is running as well as ever. John Ryan’s 3-year-old is likely to come up with a bold show today. However, he needs a slice of luck to lock the first spot.
Caterina is a risk worth taking. There is no question over her abilities, and an A-game from her side will be enough to tackle Brown Pete and Thecornishcowboy.
