Gulf Of Naples favourite to finish first in The Bonus King Handicap
Gulf Of Naples holds the highest odds in the betting market for Betfred “The Bonus King” Handicap that will be held at Ripon racecourse on Saturday, April 28. The race is scheduled to begin at 3:30 (GMT).
In the Class 2 contest over a distance of 2 miles, the Mark Johnston-trained grey colt will compete against seven strong rivals including Eternal Heart, Address Unknown, Montaff, Shubaat, Hawk Mountain, My Arch and Halla San. The prize purse contains £12,450.
Gulf Of Naples owns a terrific track record. The four-year-old novice runner staged his debut on July 29, 2011. He broke his maiden in the second start of his career on August 12.
The maverick sprinter bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs in October 2011. He proceeded to get a runner-up rank in his last outing on April 7, 2012.
The young and talented colt is awash with winning moment at the moment. This is the reason the punters have given him the vote of confidence. The favourite tag will definitely be an additional advantage for him.
If Gulf Of Naples runs to his best, his chances to finish first in the Handicap will be up to 95 percent. However, each one of Eternal Heart and Shubaat can trigger an upset.
Eternal Heart elegantly finished first in his second last outing on April 1, 2012. Mark Johnston’s bay colt moved forward to clinch 6th spot in his last start on April 11. As a whole, he has won 4 out of his total 13 races so far.
On the other hand, Shubaat started his career with a marvellous victory on June 13, 2012. The Roger Varian-trained young gelding went on to finish 3rd in each of the next three races. He again claimed top spot in his last outing on April 8, 2012.
In the light of the above statistical analysis, it is predicted that the competition will be fairly neck-to-neck. However, Gulf Of Naples can browbeat his competitors comfortably provided he does not make any mistake on the track. Good luck to the favourite
colt.
