Dawn Ride to carry success at Newcastle – Handicap Hurdle Preview
Dawn Ride, the Micky Hammond-trained veteran gelding, is expected to accomplish his second straight victory of the calendar year at Newcastle racecourse on Tuesday, March 6.
The brilliant runner is lined-up among 11 horses who are going to show their guts in Hanro Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.
It will be a Class 5 contest of 2m4f distance. The total prize money for the high-stakes event is £1,689. The race will begin at 2:50 (GMT).
Dawn Ride is geared up to fight against Stormy Morning, North Brook, Nisaal, Battle Honour, Tomzatackman, Beat The Band, Gun And More, Parky, Bolt From The Blue and Long Range.
The talented gelding’s fabulous victory in his last outing at Newcastle on February 1, 2012 seems to have boosted up his morale to a great extent. He finished fourth in two consecutive races during the month of December.
The 11-year-old experienced horse has been a consistent performer since the very beginning of his career.
As a whole, Dawn Ride has won 6 out of his total 42 starts to date. His triumphs include 5 Chase and 1 Hurdle. He has earned £32,475 to date.
The gelding is supposed to perpetuate his winning momentum ad deliver an outstanding run again at Newcastle track today. His chances to finish first are as high as 90 percent.
Among Dawn Ride’s competitors, Stormy Morning and North Brook seem to be in a position to perform well today.
Stormy Morning achieved the second success of his career on December 22, 2011. He went on to finish fifth and third in two subsequent races.
Overall, Philip Kirby’s gelding has won 2 out of his total 30 starts to date. He will surely be able to struggle for success confidently.
On the other hand, North Brook has been showing decent performances since his debut in May 2010. The trainee of Alistair Whillans grabbed 8th and 5th spots in his two outings during February 2012. He will also unleash immense firepower
today and thrive.
By and large, the Handicap Hurdle is going to be a rip-roaring competition. Victory will not be a child’s play for Dawn Ride. Good luck to all the runners.
