Dixie's Dream aiming to upset Tight Lipped in John Ferneley Handicap at Leicester
After an unimpressive seasonal debut, Dixie's Dream looks determined to bounce back and display something special in the John Ferneley Handicap, taking place at Leicester on Monday, May 21st. The class 4 meeting is
set to begin at 19:50 GMT.
Ten fast and furious runners will compete for a purse worth £4,528. Their names are: Tight Lipped, Dixie´s Dream, Fourth Of June, Amoure Medici, Alkadi, Fabled City, Ebony Clarets, Chorister Sport, Brimstone Hill and Chandigarh.
Dixie's Dream went out of action after two brilliant performances last season. In October last year, the European Breeders' Fund Nursery saw him missing the crown only by a couple of lengths.
He failed to produce good work, when made his comeback last month. In the Read Nick Luck In The Racing Plus Handicap at Kempton, Richard Hannon’s trainee finished fourth in the list. He is expected to improve his work and impress
the Leicester audience today.
Tight Lipped is going to be the major rival for Dixie's Dream. The 3-year-old is full of confidence following a good show at Ascot earlier this month. 1.3 Million attheraces.com Users Handicap saw him seizing the runner-up place
by four and a half lengths.
Since he is coming into this competition after a fine effort, the bookmakers will not be reluctant to give him the highest odds today. Let’s see whether he performs to his high reputation.
Fourth Of June’s performance was below par last time out. At the start of this month, the 3-year-old performed poorly at Newmarket, where he finished ninth in the class 2 Qipco Supports Racing Welfare Handicap.
The Ed Dunlop-trained exhibited a dismal show after a wonderful victory at Yarmouth. In the Avenue Pub Beatty Road Handicap, the bay colt secured the top rank by a neck’s distance. Amoure Medici is likely to get decent odds,
however, it is not going to be a good move to support him.
According to our calculations, Tight Lipped and Dixie´s Dream would battle hard for the top position. The latter is recommended for those interested in making a brave move. We wish the best of luck to everyone.
