Fifis Rocket tough to beat in Caffreys Sprint Trophy at Nottingham
Nottingham will host Caffreys Sprint Trophy on Monday, February 20, 2012. The 305 metre long Grade Open Race (OR) heat is scheduled to kick off at 19:32. The champion will earn a lot of praise alongside a purse of £150.
Six high status hounds competing in this exciting event are:
Fifis Rocket
All For David
Ballymac Drogba
Tictac Diamond
Corleones Dondon
Southoe Major
Let’s make a statistical analysis in an attempt to find out the one with the highest chances of winning. This preview will help the bookies stake their money carefully.
Considering his recent good performances, Fifis Rocket can easily be rated as favourite. Although victories are not coming to his way these days, the rampant hound has been doing a decent job over the last few weeks. In both of his last
races, he finished second on the table.
On February 11, the spectators at Monmore saw him getting crowded on the track. However, Brett Lee’s son out of Droopys Ruby still managed to grab second position. The exciting hound is 15/8 favourite tonight and all he needs to do a wonder is a quick clear
run.
All For David and Ballymac Drogba have been awarded with a starting price of 11/4 each. All For David failed to do anything special during the last few months, but he started off this year with a fair performance.
On February 13, the blue and white dog sealed second position in the rankings. His connections are expecting him to improve his running time and if he manages to do so, he will be uncatchable.
On the other hand, Ballymac Drogba is full of confidence after a couple of brilliant runs. The white and black dog made his seasonal debut on January 30, when he clinched a classy win by 1 3/4 lengths. After two comprehensive performances,
the hat-trick is on the cards. Thus, A. Jenkins’ trainee will be a huge threat for the rest of the pack.
Only an upset will take Tictac Diamond to victory. After a victory in mid December, the black dog has not been doing anything decent. In a bid to display a firing performance tonight, he will have to perform out of his skin. According to
the betting forecast, Kiowa Sweet Trey’s son out of Ardaghs Jodie is holding a starting price of 9 to 2.
Corleones Dondon is in winning mood at the moment. Earlier this month, the fawn down outsmarted All For David by three quarters of a length to win a similar race at the same venue. Yet, his tradition of getting crowded might hamper the punters
from staking too much money on him. This clash is a massive opportunity for Corleones Dondon to prove his critics wrong.
Holding a starting price of 16/1, Southoe Major is the least favourite hound in the race. The black dog will have a few chances only if his rivals make blunders.
Final Prediction
Putting money on Fifis Rocket is a risk worth taking.
All For David and Ballymac Drogba are recommended for the first three positions whereas an upset can be expected from
Corleones Dondon.
