Colour Guard geared up for victory in 32red Handicap
Colour Guard looking to append one more glorious victory to his success-studded career by finishing first in the 32red Handicap which will be held at Kempton racecourse on Thursday, March 29.
The Class 4 contest over 1m standard distance has total 9 entries. Colour Guard’s competitors include Sunset Kitty, Tartan Trip, I Confess, Bramshaw, Ashva, Den’s Gift, Alhaban and Ancient Greece.
For the prize money worth £4,075, each of the above runners is likely to fight hard when the action will start at 8:25 (GMT).
However, Colour Guard will surely be able to demonstrate a winning performance with an offensive attitude. The Mark Johnston-trained bay gelding started his career with a marvellous victory on February 10, 2012.
The four-year-old maverick horse moved forward to finish fourth in the very next race on February 23.
His two starts on March 1 and 6 at Southwell track were preludes of his promising career and evident of his excellent racing skills.
First, he ran as a 4/9 favourite participant in the Ladbrokes Apprentice Handicap and clinched first position and then moved forward to finish first in the Get Live Football Scores At Footballscores.Com Handicap while being 11/8 favourite.
The brilliant horse elegantly earned a runner-up rank in his last outing on March 23. Thus, the novice runner has proved his class properly with these epic feats.
Now, he is going to demonstrate a big run in his maiden start at Kempton. His chances to finish first in the race are as high as 95 percent.
Among the other runners, Alhaban and Ancient Greece look to be solid enough on the card.
Alhaban has accomplished three victories along with three runner-up positions since the dawn of 2012. The Ronald Harris-trained grey gelding possesses an impressive track record overall. His recent success streak suggests that he will do well in today’s
outing.
On the other hand, Ancient Greece is on a hat-trick. During September 2011, the trainee of George Baker won two races in a row. As a whole, he has run for 13 times to date. He is supposed to struggle hard for completing his hat-trick in today’s contest.
In this situation, a tough tug of war is expected at Kempton today. Let us see who gains what out of the heated clash. Good luck to all the runners.
