Goodlukin Lucy eying revenge over Star Kingdom
Goodlukin Lucy will be looking to avenge her defeat against Star Kingdom in the Best Odds Guaranteed At BetVictor.com Racing Excellence Apprentice Training Series Handicap at Ayr in England on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The pair came together at Hamilton
last time around and gave a tough time to each other.
However, the latter had the last laugh in the end and won the race by a narrow margin. That was the maiden victory of his career and he will be looking to repeat such a show once again in order to claim a cash prize of £1,704 from the class-6 contest.
The three-year-old gelding has been given a general starting price of 11 to 2 and the heavy track conditions will definitely suit him a lot. However, there is a question mark over his stamina and he will need to prove his mettle in the 1 mile long race.
Overall, the Brian Ellison’s trained challenger has appeared in just eight events and his strike rate is not on the higher side. He has been victorious just once whereas his remaining performances have been below par. Other than his victory, he has never
even managed to finish as a runner up or in third place until now. Therefore, he will be under immense pressure to deliver a positive result at Ayr today.
On the other hand, Goodlukin Lucy has the ability to give a tough time to her opponents and she will also like the track conditions in the race. She has not been consistent at all and the punters will definitely be reluctant to risk money on her.
Despite that, the five-year-old mare cannot be taken lightly at all, as anything can happen in racing. Her opponents are also struggling for consistency, which will make things uncertain at the end of the day.
Although, the ongoing season has not been a very good one for the Dianne Sayer’s trainee, yet she will be hopeful of a better run this time around. She finished as a runner up by just three quarters last time around, but will be looking to take one step
further this time around. Her partner in the race will be David Simmonson.
