Greyemkay set to lock horns with Athaakeel in Stradey Park Handicap
Greyemkay will be eying revenge over Athaakeel in Stradey Park Handicap at Ffos Las in England on Monday, September 3, 2012. The pair had a great fight last week at Chepstow, but the latter managed to take the top spot in the end. Both will lock horns once
again and it will be interesting to see whether who finishes ahead.
A total of 10 runners have been attracted towards the 6 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 15:20 GMT and the spectators will be hoping for a classic contest. The track has been affected by rain, thus the going will be soft, which will make things
tricky at the end of the day.
The bookmakers believe that these conditions will suit Athaakeel, who is also carrying the winning momentum right now. She is an experienced campaigner and knows how to handle pressure situations. Due to this, the punters will also be looking to risk the
maximum number of bets in her favour.
However, things are not going to be easy for the veteran mare, as she will be under immense pressure to deliver another strong result. She is not known to be a consistent performer, which will give an opportunity to her opponents.
Greyemkay may not have earned any victories in his career, but he is in very good shape right now. He almost broke the shackles in his most recent outing, but things did not work out as he expected.
Despite that, the young runner has been given a general starting price of 4 to 1 by the bookies, which shows that they expect him to be strong. His previous performance will definitely encourage the punters to place a lot of bets on him.
The four-year-old gelding has participated in 13 events until now and the best he could manage was a runner up position once. In addition to that, he secured the third place on a couple of times in his career.
The Richard Price’s trainee debuted in 2011, but was unable to deliver good results with consistency back then. However, things have been working out really well for him during the ongoing season. He will be desperate to bring up his maiden victory under
Mark Coumbe.
