Dun Masc likely to dominate proceedings in the thetote.com Handicap Chase
Dun Masc is likely to prevail in the thetote.com Handicap Chase at Clonmel in Ireland on Thursday, April 5, 2012. A total of 13 runners have been attracted towards the event, which has a winning cash prize of €6,900.
Stamina will be crucial in the race, as the overall distance to cover is just 2 miles and 4 furlongs. Going will be good in the race, which is scheduled to start at 6:55 GMT, and following are the entries confirmed for it: Auenschutze, Dun Masc, D´s
Trix, Accordion To Paddy, Hatton´s Wood, More Chimney´s, Information, Kirbybroguelantern, Molinero, Tomcoole Lad, Bennys Breeze, Mister Watzisname and Grandeur Cappy.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Dun Masc has got the best chances of winning, as he is in spectacular form right now. The bookies believe that he will be dominant in the race, thus the punters will also be placing a lot of bets in his favour.
The seven-year-old gelding has entered seven chase races overall, winning one of them. His strike rate is not good, but he still seems to be in good shape at the moment.
D. T. Hughes’ trained runner is in great rhythm and it will be difficult to stop him from winning the race at Clonmel. He has won his most recent race, which shows the kind of form he is in at the moment.
Today’s favourite runner will be ridden by Bryan J. Cooper, who is a decent rider and has the potential delivering good results consistently.
On the other hand, Auenschutze has got plenty of experience and will give a tough time to his rivals. He has taken part in six chase races until now, winning none of them. However, he has secured one runner up and third place finish each, which shows
that he has the potential to fight for top victories.
J. J. Lambe trainee is in good form at the moment, as he finished third in his most recent race. He will be expected to deliver a similar show at Clonmel today.
The eight-year-old gelding will be partnered by veteran jockey Ruby Walsh, who is one of the best in the business and will definitely attract a lot of bets.
It appears that the real battle will be amongst the top two, who are in good form whereas the rest of the runners will struggle to win.
