Flinty Bay favourite for Bet365.com Beginners´ Chase
Flinty Bay has won the best odds for the Bet365.com Beginners´ Chase at Sedgefield in England on Wednesday, May 23, 2012. A cash prize of £3,054 will be awarded to the winner of the class-4 event.
All runners will have to cover an overall distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs, which will test their endurance today. Furthermore, the going will be good in the race, which is scheduled to start at 18:30 GMT.
A total of 11 runners have been attracted towards the event and their names are as follows: Flinty Bay, Fill The Power, Kealigolane, Jukebox Melody, Higgy´s Boy, High Ransom, Dodgey Dream, Dica, Political Paddy, French Seventyfive and The Real Tom
Eoin.
Looking at the recent form of Flinty Bay, the bookies have given him pretty decent odds for the race. He seems to be in very good rhythm at the moment, thus it will be hard to stop him from finishing on top. The punters are also likely to risk the
maximum number of bets in his favour, as they do not have many other options available.
The seven-year-old gelding has participated in 12 races overall, winning a couple of them. However, he has been unable to take the top spot in chase events. Despite that, his performances in this format have been impressive, as he has finished third
on three occasions out of five outings.
The Nicky Richards’ trainee was unable to challenge his rivals in his most recent race, despite the fact that he had been awarded pretty decent odds. However, he still managed to finish third overall, which shows he is carrying decent momentum at the
moment.
Flinty Bay will be partnered by Dougie Costello, who has managed to win 76 chase events. His strike rate is also good, but he still needs to win more consistently in order to attract more bets from the punters.
The bookies also expect Fill The Power to make a solid impression in the race, as he appears to be in good shape at the moment. His recent form is not good though, as he failed to make an impression in his past few outings. Furthermore, he has also
not taken part in any chase event, thus the bettors will not risk much money on him.
