Corporal Maddox gets the best odds for Edge Worldwide Handicap
Corporal Maddox has been awarded with the best odds for the Edge Worldwide Handicap at Chester in England on Friday, May 11, 2012. The winner of the class-4 event will bag a cash prize of £6,469.
The going is expected to be soft in the 7 furlong 2 yard race, which will test the speed of all participants. The action is scheduled to begin at 15:40 GMT and following entries have been confirmed: Corporal Maddox, Orpsie Boy, Kingswinford, April Fool,
Spa´s Dancer, Tamareen, Viva Ronaldo, Mappin Time, Al Muheer, One Scoop Or Two, Barons Spy, Glenridding and No Hubris.
Earlier, Sunraider was also expected to take part in the race, but his participation is doubtful now. He had the experience of 16 races, thus could have made a solid impression in the race. However, his strike rate was on the lower side and the punters would
not have risked a lot of money on him.
Looking at the experience of Corporal Maddox, the bookies have rated him as favourite to win the race. However, his performances in recent times have been a touch inconsistent, which will discourage the bettors to risk money on him.
The five-year-old gelding has take part in 23 events, winning three of them and finishing runners up on a couple of occasions. Moreover, he has also secured three third place spots, which shows that he is fully capable of fighting for victories.
It will be a challenging task for the Jamie Osborne’s trainee to finish on top of the table today, as his recent form has dipped to some extent. He finished fifth in his most recent outing, which shows that he is not carrying good rhythm at the moment. He
will need to be at his absolute best in order to prevail at Chester.
Corporal Maddox will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Stevie Donohoe, who has on quite a few races at this level, but does not have a good strike rate. He will need to bring a lot more consistency in his performances in order to attract more bets in the
future.
Orpsie Boy, Kingswinford and April Fool are the other ones, who can fight for race victory at Chester today.
