Dozy Joe to bounce back in Sportinglife.com Racing Handicap at Kempton
Dozy Joe is on long losing run, as he has not tasted even a single success so far this season. Ian Wood’s charge has finally got an ideal opportunity to unchain the shackles, and register his first triumph since August 2010.
Dropping in the weights is a massive advantage for Dozy Joe, who will be ridden by Michael J. M. Murphy in the Class 5 Sportinglife.com Racing Handicap, taking place at Kempton on Wednesday, August 15th.
The 4-year-old has done well here in the past. In the hands of Luke Morris, he made his seasonal debut here in January, when finishing fifth in the Betdaq Mobile Apps Conditions Stakes. Although nothing big came to his way, he was not disgraced at all, as
he stayed on well inside the final furlong.
Dozy Joe is surely going through a lean patch these days, and needs something extra special to make an impact. Today’s 7-furlong meeting is certainly a mega chance for him, and it will be interesting to see how he handles the situation to make the best use
of this opportunity. On standard to slow, eleven speedy runners will aim for a cash prize of £2,264. The drama will start at 20:35 GMT.
If someone wants to play it real safe, Scottish Lake is the best option. The 4-year-old opened his account with a thrilling victory here earlier this month. Betfair Classified Stakes saw him bagging the big prize by a neck’s distance. After his maiden success,
Scottish Lake is full of spirit, and can make things a lot tricky for the rest of the crew.
Paphos has a good experience at Kempton. The 5-year-old recently ran some very good races in defeat. The Stuart Williams-trained clinched a comprehensive victory at Lingfield at the end of last month, but failed terribly thereafter. The son of Oasis Dream
was fourth last time around.
Scottish Lake looked an improved performer last week, and should be respected despite a penalty. Paphos is another interesting runner for different reasons. Nevertheless, it might be worth siding with Dozy Joe, who has a lot of things in his favour. Good
luck to all the runners.
