Edeymi likely to prevail in Clonmel Maiden Hurdle
Clonmel Maiden Hurdle is the best opportunity for, Edeymi, to open to his winning account. With 18 runners, the €5,175 event is scheduled to take place at 14:05 on Thursday, February 16, 2012.
The line-up comprises of many exciting contestants including the greats like, Edeymi, Chasing Shadows, Coolking, An Dearthair Og, and Carries Darling.
Despite the fact that Edeymi is yet to taste his first success, the gelding can easily be declared favourite for this event.
Since his debut in December last year, the four-year-old has been doing a terrific job in terms of speed and stamina.
Out his total three outings over hurdles, the colt ended up in top three on a couple of occasions.
The going is soft to heavy, and Edeymi, has a reputation of displaying a great work on a soft track.
Moreover, his trainer, A. J. Martin, will also look to make the best use of this chance, and register his first win with Barathea’s son out of Edabiya.
Among the opposition, Chasing Shadows is likely to come up with a good fight.
The six-year-old mare is also having a winless journey so far.
However, considering her promising run in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Maiden Hurdle at Naas last month, one can expect her to deliver an impressive performance today.
Out of her total five hurdle races, D. T. Hughes’ trainee finished second on two occasions.
Since the list of contestants does have many experienced horses, Chasing Shadows, has obvious chances to register her maiden victory.
Another participant with decent chances to thrive is Coolking.
The five-year-old showed a dismal performance last month, but improved his ranking dramatically in his subsequent outing on February 2.
In the Clonmel Festival Week Maiden Hurdle, King´s Theatre’s son out of Osocoo, demonstrated a fine show and secured third place.
An Dearthair Og, and Carries Darling, will also look to fancy their chances, but it might be a bit risky for the bettors to expect something special from them.
Prediction
Edeymi will step into the battle field with the highest chances to shine. His connections are determined to record their first win; however, it is not going to be a simple outing for him.
Chasing Shadows and Coolking are also h**l-bent to show their magic. Each one of the trio is in good momentum at the moment, but the contestant to avoid mistakes will emerge as the ultimate champion.
