Confident Nestor to nail the Easter Super Standard (Heat 1) at Sittingbourne on 8th April
Sittingbourne is to host the Easter Super Standard (Heat 1) over 500 metres on Sunday, 8th April. Taking up the challenge tonight are Dixies Air, Imperial Rooster, Ministry Millie, Rathdaniel Oak, Ceroc Shaneboy and Confident Nestor.
The strongest entry on the lineup is Confident Nestor, Never Give Up’s four-year-old black son out of b***h Confident Aoife. He is a very lightly raced dog with just two races under his belt for the 2012 season.
Confident Nestor did not start racing straight away rather first under took two training sessions. He timed the 462 metres distance in 28.56 second on 12th March at Yarmouth. He then drilled through the same distance in 28.16 seconds on 19th March at the same race course.
Confident Nestor bagged his seasonal debut by clocking the 462 metres’ track distance in 28.28 seconds on 24th March at Yarmouth, Balinakill Pride was the runner up of the race who trailed behind by a mere ¾ of a length by which the winner led.
He failed to maintain the performance during the second start of the season as Confident Nestor scored second in a 480 metres race on 1st April at Sittingbourne. The winner, Tommys Inluck, concluded the track distance in 29.49 seconds and was only at a head’s distance from the runner up.
The four-year-old was successful in the last two races of the previous season and possesses the potential of striking a victory tonight.
An entry who has won a race recently is Ceroc Shaneboy, Premier Fantasy’s three-year-old black and white son out of b***h Shaneboy Dorie. He has won twice during the new season.
On 5th March Ceroc Shaneboy won a 500 metres race at Nottingham which he settled in 30.80 seconds and led the runner up, Watch Kitty, by five and a half lengths.
After getting trained over 500 metres at Nottingham on 12th March, Ceroc Shaneboy lost the next two races that came his way. His second win of the season was in a 480 metres race at Sittingbourne on 1st April. He clocked the track distance in 29.13 seconds and was soon followed on the other end of the wire by Farley Totti, who was left behind by a mere head’s difference.
He will prove to be a tough match for Confident Nestor.
