High Talk looking for an upset in Gerald Karn-Smith Memorial Handicap Chase
High Talk has got a very good opportunity of causing an upset in the Gerald Karn-Smith Memorial Handicap Chase at Plumpton in England on Monday, October 22, 2012. Most of the participants have been struggling for consistency over the past few months, thus
the punters will have a difficult job on hand today, as they will be the ones risking money at the end of the day.
Only six stallions have been attracted towards the class-4 event, which is scheduled to kick off at 15:40 GMT. The winner will be awarded a cash prize of £3,054, so everyone will be fighting hard for it.
There has been plenty of rain over the past couple of days, which is not good for racing. The going has been described as soft and the organisers will be hoping that the conditions improve with the passage of time.
The rain affected track will definitely put more stress on the runners. Moreover, they will have to cover an overall distance of 3 miles and 2 furlongs, which means only a specialist will be able to perform well at the end of the day.
Talking of specialists in these conditions, Pete The Feat likes running under such circumstances and he will definitely be in contention of a victory. The bookies have given him the best odds for victory and the bettors will also look to risk a lot of money
in his favour.
Although, the eight-year-old gelding has managed to win just four events in his career, yet he will be confident of making a strong impression at Plumpton. All of his victories have come on a rain affected ground, thus his team will be looking forward to
a strong show.
However, High Talk is also a pretty decent runner and has the ability to fight for a victory in the end. He does not have a very good record, but that will not bother his team much. He has been performing reasonably well during this year, so the punters
should consider him as a winning option today.
Last time, when the Mark Michael McNiff’s trainee ran on a soft ground, he finished as a runner up under jockey, Derek Fox, who will once again be accompanying him in the race.
