Main Sequence set to shine at Newmarket – Turftv Handicap Preview
Main Sequence is likely to add third straight victory to his career chart by winning Turftv Handicap that is going to take place at Newmarket on Thursday, April 19.
On the card of the high-voltage Open Race over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs, there stand seven more runners including Martin Chuzzlewit, Sound Advice, Clare Island Boy, Hefner, Finbar, Aazif and Ahzeemah who will also compete potentially for the ace
title when the action begins at 5:50 (GMT).
A prize cheque of £9,704 is ready for the horse who is destined to win the mega marathon.
Main Sequence possesses both the talent and techniques that will be required to notch up top spot in the Handicap.
The David Lanigan-trained colt has marvellously won both the races of his career so far. The brilliant young runner staged his debut on September 15, 2011 and finished first in British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing E B F Maiden at Yarmouth.
The talented sprinter moved ahead to stand first again in the very next outing entitled as Thai Street Cafe Nursery on October 19. This time he ran at Newmarket racecourse carrying a 7-2 favourite tag.
Thus, the Niarchos Family-owned maverick colt is on the brink of an epic hat-trick and today’s contest is going to be greatly significant for him in this regard.
If Main Sequence avoids making any mistake on the track and unleashes his utmost firepower, he will surely be able to outplay his opponents. Mathematically speaking, his chances to finish first are 85 percent.
However, Finbar and Aazif can trigger upsets in the race as each of the duo owns enough momentum at the moment.
Finbar is also on a hat-trick. The James Given-trained bay colt excellently bagged a couple of consecutive victories during November 2011. Prior to this, the veteran runner had grabbed a third in the month of October.
On the other hand, Aazif earned top spot in the second and last outing of his career on October 9, 2011. Being an 11-4 favourite, John Dunlop’s young gelding delivered an impressive run at Goodwood.
In this situation, it is anticipated that the race will be packed with twists and turns, and Main Sequence needs to employ a meticulous running strategy in order to keep his head high. Good luck to all the contestants.
