Exotic Man eying an upset in Weatherbys Printing Services Novices´ Handicap Chase
Exotic Man will be looking to cause an upset in the Weatherbys Printing Services Novices´ Handicap Chase at Musselburgh in England on Friday, November 30, 2012. He has never won a race in his career, but will be looking to break the shackles this time around
in the class-4 competition.
Things will not be easy for him though, as there are some decent runners lined up against him. Therefore, he will have to produce a special effort in order to walk away with a cash prize of £5,198 in the end.
He has shown very good technique in races over fences which means that he cannot be ruled out of contention today. However, he will have to outperform seven other stallions in order to make a name for himself.
The track conditions will not be a big problem for the seven-year-old gelding, as the weather has been a bit tricky. Due to some overnight showers, the going has become good to soft, but it might improve before the start of action at 13:10 GMT.
It will be important for all of the participants to display good stamina, as the overall distance to cover will be 2 miles and 4 furlongs. Moreover, the wet ground will make the conditions more testing at the end of the day.
Pickworth seems to be the ideal choice for the punters, as she has done a really good job in her most recent outing over fences. She has been given the highest odds for winning the race and will be looking to meet the expectations of everyone.
However, the seasoned mare has not been able to deliver decent results with consistency, which will put some doubt in the minds of the bettors. Despite that, she will not be under much pressure, as she is carrying the winning momentum right now.
Coming back to Exotic Man, he is not very young and has been in the sport for quite some time now. Although, he has taken part in selective events throughout his career, yet he knows how to tackle pressure.
The John Wade’s trainee participated in just one chase event in his career and finished as a runner up in it. He will look to make an improvement this time around under jockey, John Dawson.
