Katmai River tipped to win Mid Sussex Golf Club Handicap
Katmai River has a solid chance of winning the Mid Sussex Golf Club Handicap at Brighton in England on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. The winner of the class-5 event will be awarded a cash prize of £2,458.
The going will be soft in the 6 furlong 209 yard event, which is scheduled to start at 21:00 GMT, and following runners will be seen in action: Cheylesmore, Katmai River, Welsh Royale, Highland Harvest and Guilded Warrior.
There were a few more runners scheduled to take part in the race, but the conditions forced them to drop out. This will make the competition more exciting, as the remaining participants are all in decent form.
Speed will play a crucial role in determining the winner at Brighton today. Considering that, the best chances of victory are with Katmai River, as he has the tools to deliver a winning result. His recent form has been impressive, which will encourage
the punters from placing bets on him.
The five-year-old gelding has participated in 36 events, winning just six of them and finishing runner up on the same number of times. In addition to that, he has also secured the third spot on three times, which shows that he has the potential to
fight at the front.
The Mark Usher’s trainee has two out of his previous three races and has a solid chance of shining at Brighton today. However, he was unable to make an impression in his most recent run, finishing 11th in it.
Katmai River will be partnered by Lee Newnes, who is a decent rider, but lacks consistency at this level. He has been performing well in recent times though, which indicates that he will be full of confidence today.
On the other hand, the bookies have shown more confidence in the abilities of Cheylesmore, who is also carrying a good momentum right now. He has entered 24 races, winning four of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he has also
secured the third position on five times.
The four-year-old gelding finished third last time around and will definitely give a tough time to Katmai River and his other rivals at Brighton.
