Five runners to take part in MBNA Chester Vase (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings)
Only five runners have lined up for action in the MBNA Chester Vase (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings) at Chester in England on Thursday, May 10, 2012. The winner of the class-1 event will walk away with a cash prize of £31,191.
The going will be soft in the 1 mile, 4 furlong and 66 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 14:35 GMT. Following runners will be seen in action at Chester today: Call To Battle, David Livingston, Mickdaam, Model Pupil and Minimise Risk.
The bookies believe that David Livingston will walk away with a victory at Chester, as he is in decent form at the moment. This is why he has been awarded with the best odds and the punters are also likely to place quite a few bets in his favour.
The three-year-old colt has taken part in six races until now, winning a couple of them. In addition to that, he has also managed to finish third once as well, which shows that he has the potential to fight for victories regularly.
In his most recent race, the A. P. O'Brien’s trained runner was unable to deliver a strong result, as he finished fifth overall. He was rated favourite back then, but failed to meet the expectations of everyone.
However, David Livingston is expected to bounce back strongly in the race at Chester, but he will have to be at his absolute best in order to take the top spot. He will be partnered by J. P. O'Brien, who has a decent strike rate at this level.
On the other hand, Call To Battle will not let David Livingston walk away with an easy win. He is a fierce competitor and will definitely attract a lot of bets from the punters. He has taken part in four events, winning a couple of them and finishing runner up once. This means that there was only one occasion, where he failed to make into the top three.
The John M. Oxx’s trainee performed decently in his most recent run, which means he is carrying excellent momentum right now. He will be partnered by J. Murtagh, who has won quite a few races at this level at an impressive strike rate.
