Maarek eying a strong run in Newbridge 200 Renaissance Stakes (Group 3)
Maarek will be looking to use his lightning speed in order to claim the Newbridge 200 Renaissance Stakes (Group 3) at Curragh in Ireland on Saturday, September 15, 2012. He is a quality runner and has proved to be competitive in the past at this venue, which
will give him the confidence of shining today.
The young runner has got some useful experience and his recent form has also been very good. He has proved his skills to one and all under different conditions, which shows that the going does not matter to him as much as it does to some of the other participants
lined up for action in the race.
However, the weather has been good at Curragh overnight, thus there will be no big change in the track conditions. All the participants will be excited to win the €37,375 event, but only one of them will get the opportunity to grab that prize money at the
end of the day.
Speed at the start of the race will be extremely crucial, as the overall distance to cover will be only 6 furlongs. There is not room for mistakes today, as even the slightest of errors could prove to be too costly in the end.
Considering all the statistics, the bookmakers believe that the best chances of victory are with Fire Lily, as she has been doing a good job at Curragh recently. She was victorious at this venue in her penultimate outing and finished as a runner up last
time around, which will definitely help her get the attention of the punters.
However, the young filly was helped by the wet track conditions back then and she might not manage to be as much competitive today. Despite that, she cannot be ruled out of contention, as she has the ability to cope up with the change in conditions.
On the other hand, Maarek cannot be taken lightly at all, as he is a terrific runner. He will enter the race with a starting price of 9 to 2 and it will be a clever idea to risk some bets in his favour. He has won six events in his career until now and has
got a decent strike rate.
The David Peter Nagle’s trainee will be pairing up with veteran jockey, Jamie Spencer, for the first time in his career and they could prove to be a lethal combination in the end.
