Code Of The West set to shine at Clonmel - Lisronagh Chase Preview
The cash-rich Lisronagh Novice Handicap Chase is all set to begin at 4:10 today, February 16 at Clonmel horseracing course. In the race of 2m4f distance, nine runners will compete for the big prize money worth of €10,005.
With the contest a few hours away, Bettor.Com presents here an in-depth betting preview which will help the bookmakers to run the market wisely.
Following is a statistical analysis of each of the runners:
Prince Of Milan: Trained by Andrew Slattery, the black gelding has run for 19 times but won just 2. Making his debut in February 2009, he bagged a victory in the very next month. His second victory came in October 2011 when he beat 14 competitors
to lift the Munster Beginners Chase title.
The seven-year-old finished second a Handicap Chase on December 19. Since then, he has been in school, focusing on increasing his stamina. The gelding is likely to enjoy good time today, having 60 percent chances to win.
Toomdeely: Out of his total 31 starts so far, the veteran runner has won two races. On September 15, 2011, the gelding beat 9 rivals to win Kevin Mcmanus Beginners Chase. On February 2, 2012, he finished last in Clonmel Festival Week Chase
after getting trailed badly.
It seems that the trainee of Patrick Neville is not going to do well today. His chances to win are as low as 30 percent.
Code Of The West: The C Roche-trained gelding has been in good form since last six months, winning two events and finishing well in the other three. After lifting the Maiden Hurdle title on September 14, 2011, he won Handicap Chase on February
1, 2012. Thus, the talented gelding seems to be in good position to win today. He has 70 percent chances to thrive.
Saville Row: Since finishing first in his maiden race on November 5, 2010, the Mrs John Harrington-trained gelding has been winless to date. He finished 3rd each in his last two contest. The seven-year-old is not likely to win
even today; however, he may finish second or third.
Sumkindasuprstar: After winning Sliabh Luachra Handicap Chase on December 26, 2011, the trainee of John O Clifford finished 3rd each in two subsequent races during the first month of 2012. He now seems to be carrying good momentum
which means that the eight-year-old has 65 percent chances to win today.
The Book Thief: Since winning one race each in 2009 and 2010, the Eoghan O’Grady’s gelding has been totally off-coloured so far. In his two starts during the last month, he failed badly. It shows that the eight-year-old is not going to make
any impact today.
Lusiad: The trainee of Patrick Rooney has been winless so far in his career despite running for 14 times. He was 3-1 favourite in his last race on February 1 but finished 7th. Thus, he does not seem to be in a position to win
even in today’s contest.
Dun Masc: The seven-year-old has been going through a lean patch since almost a year. He won his first and last race in March 2011. In last two contests, the D T Hughes-trained gelding finished 8th each. He too will not perform
well today.
Steady Ed: The John J Walsh’s gelding has won just one out of his total eight starts so far. Winning Geldings Maiden on December 4, 2011, he performed poorly in the two subsequent races. However, he possesses immense talent which, if used
proper, will help him notch up at least fourth spot today.
Conclusion
In the light of the above analysis, it is deduced that Prince Of Milan, Code Of The West and Sumkindasuprstar will have a tough battle among themselves for the top position. Out of the trio, Code Of The West has higher chances to thrive. Good luck to all
the runners.
