Dream Catcher chasing victory in Blue Square Bet Grey Horse Handicap
Dream Catcher will be looking to prove his mettle on a good to firm track in order to claim the Blue Square Bet Grey Horse Handicap (For Grey Horses Only) at Newmarket in England on Saturday, August 18, 2012. He has normally done well on a soft ground throughout
his career, but needs to show that he can be flexible.
The class-4 event has a cash prize of £12,450, thus a total of 19 runners have been attracted towards it. A lot of them have been struggling for consistency and the real battle will be amongst a few of them.
Time Medicean and Baby Strange have managed to get the attention of the bookmakers, as they are expected to be fighting for victory. However, they are not in dominant form at the moment, thus the punters will not be relying on them completely.
Looking at the recent performances of Dream Catcher, it is clear that he has a solid chance of making an impression in the race at Newmarket. He is a very good runner and will like the short distance of 6 furlongs, as his speed is pretty much impressive.
He has been priced 15 to 2 today and will definitely get the attention of the punters.
The four-year-old gelding has got some useful experience, as he has participated in a total of 29 events in his career. Although, his strike rate is not on the higher side, yet it is not bad at all, as he has managed to win on seven occasions. In addition
to that, he has got a couple of runner up positions to his name as well, which shows that he can fight for the top positions.
The 2012 season has been a very good one for the Henry Candy’s trainee, as he has managed to win a couple of events in it. He did not start this year on a positive note, but made a big improvement afterwards.
However, rain helped him out in both his victories, but that will not be the case today. He will have to be at his absolute best in order to shine under different track conditions. Cathy Gannon will be the one partnering him in the race today.
