Clear Spring set to stand first in Center Handicap
Clear Spring will surely capitalise well on the form produced by his two recent consecutive conquests in an effort to clinch top spot in the Pipe Center Handicap (Div 1), a high-profile class 6 contest that is going to take place at Brighton racecourse on
Tuesday, June 26. The action will commence at 3:15 (GMT).
On the way towards the finish line, the John Spearing-trained bay colt will have to face 9 rivals with Perfect Honour and Homeboy being big names.
The brilliant colt will repeat his traditional class on the good to soft track of 5 furlongs and 213 yards while pursuing the prize cheque worth £1,617.
Since the dawn of the calendar year, Clear Spring has been at the peak of form. After getting a third at Brighton track on April 26, the four-year-old runner elegantly broke his maiden on May 23. This was Final Whistle Pub Southwell Handicap.
The maverick son of Chineur out of Holly Springs moved ahead to accomplish a grand victory again in the very next outing on June 16. This time, he ran against 13 competitors in the Sylvia Brown Memorial Handicap.
In his last outing on June 19, Clear Spring finished 4th while being a 6-5 favourite runner. Thus, these feats have boosted up the colt’s morale greatly.
Among the other runners, Perfect Honour and Homeboy are likely to perform well in today’s marathon.
Perfect Honour has won just one of her total 17 starts so far. The Des Donovan-trained mare’s only victory came in April 2009. Since then, she has been struggling.
The daughter of Exceed And Excel out of Porcelana finished 4th in each of her last two outings during the first half of June 2012.
On the other hand, Homeboy is winless yet despite having 14 starts to his name. The Marcus Tregoning-trained bay gelding finished 3rd against 9 rivals in his last going on June 19, 2012.
By and large, the event will be packed with throb and thud. A huge crowd will go to enjoy the live action at Brighton. Good luck to all the contestants who are lined-up to run today.
