Exocet looking for a victory in Connollys Red Mills Racer Open 575
Exocet will be looking to bounce back in form during the Connollys Red Mills Racer Open 575 at Shelbourne Park in Ireland on Saturday, December 8, 2012. He failed miserably in his most recent Grade OR outing, but has a solid chance of making amends this
time around.
Most of his opponents have been struggling for consistency, which means that it could be anyone’s game at the end of the day. The winner will be given a cash prize of €500, which will encourage all of the participants to push extremely hard today. The action
will kick off at 21:00 GMT.
Things will not be easy though, as the overall distance to cover will be 575 yards. This will test the endurance of all hounds and they should avoid being aggressive in the opening phases of the race.
Looking at the overall distance to cover, it seems that the starting positions will not make a big difference today. Some of the runners will still be looking to gain momentum in the initial stages in order to pressurise their opponents.
However, the bookmakers have not considered the trap positions of the greyhounds and they have rated North Bound as the favourite to succeed. Although, he does not have a lot of experience, yet his performances have been really impressive.
The young challenger has been given a general starting price of 6 to 4, which suggests that he is expected to walk away with a dominant victory at the end of the day. He is going to enter the contest from trap number five, which is not a very bad position.
He has won races from this trap in the past, so he will not be concerned at all. His fans will definitely be backing him up, as he has given them a lot to cheer about in the past.
The N. Dunne’s trained dog finished in third place last time around. He will need to make an improvement today in order to make his team proud.
However, Exocet will be looking to spoil the party for the favourite runner, despite the fact that he is not carrying the winning momentum right now.
The O'Shea’s trainee ended up in a disappointing sixth place last time around, which means that he will be under immense pressure. Regardless of that, he will be looking to claim the top spot at Shelbourne Park.
