Holden Eagle, Port Hill standing neck to neck for Name A Race To Enhance Your Brand Apprentice Handicap at Wolverhampton
Holden Eagle and Port Hill are likely to battle hard for the top slot in the Class 6 Name A Race To Enhance Your Brand Apprentice Handicap, taking place at Wolverhampton on Friday, March 2, 2012.
With 12 runners, the 1m4f50y event is scheduled to commence at 17:40 (GMT). The best performer of this meeting will be given a cash prize of £1,704.
The list of possible runners includes Holden Eagle, Port Hill, Corvette, Ishismart, Gap Of Dunloe, Sacco D´oro, Satwa Ballerina, Deferto Delphi, Yossi, Dubara Reef and Colliers Castle
Holden Eagle is in good shape to seal a victory at this level. The seven-year-old is making his seasonal debut after staying out of action for more than three months.
This long break might work as an advantage for Tony Newcombe’s trainee, who will be full of energy. In November 2011, the gelding displayed a fine show in the Tandridge Amateur Riders' Handicap, securing second position comfortably. His supporters have a
lot of hopes, but they cannot take anything for granted.
Port Hill is being considered as the biggest threat to Holden Eagle. The five-year-old demonstrated a fair performance in early February, but lost his rhythm after that.
In his latest outing on February 22, the five-year-old could only seize sixth place on the table. Therefore, he will have to come up with something special in order to break the shackles.
Corvette is all set to cause an upset in today’s race. The four-year-old filly did well in her last outing, finishing second on the table in the Racing Excellence All Weather "Hands And Heels" Apprentice Series Handicap at the same venue.
Her trainer, Michael Appleby would be hoping to see an improvement this time around. Be mindful that the filly is yet to register a win in her career.
Final Prediction
Port Hill and Corvette are certainly two dangerous contenders, but it will be slightly difficult for them to control
Holden Eagle.
Considering his fair performance last time around, one can expect Holden Eagle to display a fine show today. However, an upset cannot be discarded, as the rest of pack will look to make a race of it.
