Ceol Rua expected to win Novice Hurdle Championship Final
Ceol Rua is all set to demonstrate a big run at Fairyhouse racecourse in a bid to lift the ace title of Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Novices Hurdle Championship Final which will be held on Sunday, April 8.
The high-profile contest over 2m4f distance is scheduled to commence at 2:25 (GMT). For the big purse of €35,750, Ceol Rua will compete against a dozen of runners including Back In A Tic, Burn And Turn, Carrig Millie, Carrigeen Kariega, Dressedtothenines,
Flaming Pop, Madam Bovary, Oscars Business, Shadow Eile, Thynetocatcher, Valleymount and Pur Style.
The champion trainer W. P. Mullins-trained mare accomplished an epic triumph in a big race on November 16, 2011.
The brilliant sprinter moved forward to earn two consecutive runner-up ranks during November-December 2011. She extended her winning momentum to 2012 as well and grabbed a classic victory in her last outing on January 22.
Overall, the young mare has won 3 out of her total 11 starts to date, earning £36,077 as prize money. Her recently-gained form suggests that the enthusiastic runner will make a big impact in tomorrow’s mega marathon.
Ceol Rua’s chances to finish first in the race are more than 90 percent provided she manages to run with a consistent pace.
Among the hot favourite mare’s competitors, Burn And Turn and Oscars Business are likely to perform well in the race.
Burn And Turn achieved two runner-up positions in a row during January 2011. After picking a big triumph in the month of May, the Mrs John Harrington-trained bay mare grabbed 3rd spot each in two back-to-back races during October-November. On
January 29, 2012, the maverick mare superbly won a race.
On the other hand, Oscars Business bagged a couple of consecutive victories in the last month of the last year. After finishing 6th and 8th in two races during January-February 2012, the trainee of Robert Tyner clinched 4th
spot in her last start on March 18.
In this situation, the will be a tough tug of war among Ceol Rua, Burn And Turn and Oscars Business in the coming contest. Let us see who gains what. Good luck to all the contestants.
