Distant Sun likely to win Integral UK Handicap (Pro-Am Lady Riders´ Race)
Distant Sun is expected to shine in the Integral UK Handicap (Pro-Am Lady Riders´ Race) at Carlisle in England on Monday, August 6, 2012. The class-6 winner will bag a cash prize of £1,704 in the end.
A total of 17 runners have been attracted towards the 5 furlong 193 yard event, which is scheduled to start at 18:35 GMT. Furthermore, the going will be good to soft because of some overnight rain at the venue.
Most of the participants have been struggling for consistency, thus it will be a difficult decision for the punters to choose their favourite. However, the conditions will suit Distant Sun a lot and he has performed decently this year, so he can be a good
option for the bettors. The bookies also expect him to do well in these conditions, thus they have priced him 6 to 1 today.
The eight-year-old gelding has got a lot of experience, as he has participated in 78 events until now. He has raced in different conditions and knows how to handle pressure.
However, the veteran runner does not have a good strike rate, as he has managed to win just seven races in his career. Other than that, he has earned six runners up positions whereas finished as third on 13 times.
The Linda Perratt’s trainee has been in decent form in the 2012 season, as he has managed to perform with consistency. Despite that, he has been unable to win any event, which is a disappointing fact for his team.
Distant View’s son started the season badly, as he struggled to match his rivals in the first few races. However, his trainer worked hard with him and his performances started improving with the passage of time.
Distant Sun managed to finish third in his previous race, which was not a bad result at all. He was given a general starting price of 4 to 1 back then and was expected to fight at the front. He was highly competitive, but will need a better effort than that
in order to shine at Carlisle.
Amy Ryan will be the one partnering the favourite runner today. This is the first time that the two have come together in any race.
