Demora determined to win Jeff And Margaret Smith Memorial Handicap
The Michael Appleby-trained bay filly, Demora, is fully determined to accomplish a grand victory in the Jeff And Margaret Smith Memorial Handicap that will take place at Pontefract racecourse on Tuesday, July 10. The Class 5 contest over 5 furlongs is scheduled to start at 3:30 (GMT).
In the £2,264 event, the three-year-old momentous runner will show her guts against 9 rivals on the soft track that she has already experienced for four times in her career.
Since debuting in January 2012, the fantastic filly has been enjoying great form. On May 9, she nicely finished as a runner-up in the World Horse Welfare Celebrates 85 Years Maiden Stakes over 5 furlongs at Southwell.
The Dallas Racing-owned maverick sprinter marvellously broke her maiden in the Jockey Club Catering At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap over 5 furlongs, held at Nottingham on June 3. This was indeed a remarkable performance.
The young filly stepped ahead to get a runner-up position again at the same venue on June 6---she was 11-8 favourite for that race.
With these glorious feats, the A. M. Wragg-bred runner has beautifully installed herself as the hot favourite candidate for the today’s Handicap that is just a few hours away.
It is expected that Demora will dominate her rivals emphatically provided Gowanharry spares her. The Michael Dods-trained chestnut filly is brimming with confidence following her tremendous success in the Breakaway Handicap, held at Newcastle on June 9, 2012.
Prior to this triumph, the novice sprinter had grained a runner-up and a third position in two back-to-back races during April-May. She ran each of her last three races on a soft ground, thus, she will feel quite comfortable at Pontefract.
Gowanharry will surely show a lot of resilience against Demora, impeding and blocking her tacitly. There will be witnessed a neck-to-neck clash between these two fillies. This thrilling event will attract a huge crowd to the venue. The punters, who have stakes their money in the race, are eager to watch the action.
Let us enjoy the exciting action today. Good luck to all the contestants who are ready to run at Pontefract.
