Lucky Lodge tipped to win Andy Taylor Snr Is 70 Today Maiden Auction Stakes (Div II)
Lucky Lodge is tipped to win the Andy Taylor Snr Is 70 Today Maiden Auction Stakes (Div II) at Beverley in England on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The winner of the class-5 event will walk away with a cash prize of £2,296.
Until It Sleeps will miss out today, as he has suffered an injury. This leaves 12 runners in the race, which is scheduled to start at 14:45 GMT, and their names are as follows: Lucky Lodge, Jubilee Games, Al Khisa, Perfect Words, Inchy Coo, Tharawal Lady,
Mount Seymour, Miss Penny Arcade, Only For You, Zero Rated, Dha Chara and Red Style.
The going will be good in the 5 furlong race, which will test the speed of all the participants. The one who gets a good start will definitely have the best chances of winning, as the distance to cover is quite short.
The bookies have shown faith in the abilities of Lucky Lodge, who has participated in just one race until now. He managed to finish fifth in it, which was not a bad result, considering the fact that this was his first ever outing.
Despite not being the favourite to challenge the front runners, the two-year-old colt ran pretty decently and gave a tough time to his rivals. He seems to be in good shape right now and will make life difficult for the rest of the pack.
However, the punters might not be encouraged to place a lot of bets in favour of Lucky Lodge, who is yet to show is true potential at this level. The Mel Brittain’s trained runner will be partnered by Robert Winston, who is a seasoned rider and has won quite
a few races in his career.
The bettors might be interested in risking more money in favour of Perfect Words, who has been performing well in recent times. He has taken part in three events until now and finished runner up in a couple of them. This shows that he has the potential to
challenge the rest of the pack at Beverley.
The two-year-old colt will be ridden by Charles Bishop, who does not have an impressive record at this level.
