Galileo’s Choice and Terminal to tussle for triumph at Fairyhouse – Novice Hurdle Preview
Easter Festival 8th-10th April Novice Hurdle is scheduled to be held at 2m soft course of Fairyhouse today, February 15. The €8,970 race containing five runners will commence at 2:35.
Here is available an exclusive preview of the event for the assistance of the bookmakers who are going to stake their money.
Below is a keen analysis of all the entries with reference to their key career records and salient skills.
Flycorn
During almost a year of his career, the T Hogan-trained black gelding has registered just one victory out of his total 12 starts. The six-year-old runner won his first and last race on October 4, 2011.
In his two outings during the last month, the J J Devlin-owned horse finished 5th in Slaney Novice Hurdle and grabbed 18th position in Boylespor.Com Hurdle. Thus, the shoddy track record of Flycorn depicts that he is not going to do
well in this race. He may finish fourth or fifth.
Galileo’s Choice
Trained by D K Weld, the black gelding possesses outstanding track record. Out of his 12 starts, he has empathetically won five. The dashing runner registered an elegant hat-trick by winning consistently from July to September 2011. Prior of this, he had
a couple of excellent victories during September-October 2011.
The six-year-old gelding finished second in Novice Hurdle on December 4, 2011. Thus, he is at the peak of form this time. Galileo’s Choice is likely to unleash immense firepower today, having 95 percent chances to win.
Terminal
Since making his debut in December 2010, the W P Mullins-trained gelding has won four out of his total five starts so far. The five-year-old novice runner possesses outstanding skills and immense stamina which help him thrive in every contest.
On January 15, 2012, the dashing horse marvellously notched up top spot in 2012 Navan Membership Maiden Hurdle for which, he was 4-7 hot favourite. Thus, Terminal is enjoying good momentum which suggests that he will personate well today. He too has 95 percent
chance to thrive.
Becauseicouldntsee
The trainee of N F Glynn has just three triumphs to his name. Making debut in February 2007, he has participated in 17 races so far. During the entire 2011, the gelding remained winless, getting failed badly in two events.
The nine-year-old ran last on December 27, 2011 but collapsed adversely. As far as today’s event is concerned, he is not likely to make any impact.
Supreme Bob
The Philip Fenton-trained gelding has not won any of his total five starts so far. During one year of his career, he has performed poorly. He will not be able to gain anything even today.
Conclusion
In the light of the above statistical analysis, it is concluded that there will be a tough tug of war between Galileo’s Choice and Terminal for the first position. Though both the horses stand neck-and-neck in terms of talent, Galileo’s Choice has more chances
to win.
