My Viking Bay favourite for Ladbrokes At Red Dial, Worcester Conditional Jockeys´ Handicap Hurdle
My Viking Bay is all set to prevail in the Ladbrokes At Red Dial, Worcester Conditional Jockeys´ Handicap Hurdle at Worcester in England on Sunday, June 10, 2012. The winner of the class-5 event will be awarded a cash prize of £2,274.
The going will be good in the 2 mile 4 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 16:30 GMT. A total of 15 runners have lined up for action at Worcester and their names are as follows: My Viking Bay, Speedy Directa, Direct Flo, Bolanderi, Laneguy,
Orang Outan, Southway Star, Festival Dreams, Pepito Collonges, Osmosia, Cornish Beau, Tiradia, King Gabriel, Ironical and Peqeno Diablo.
At the moment, the best chances of victory appear to be with My Viking Bay, as she seems to be in decent form right now. She has been doing a good job over the past few events, thus the punters will be encouraged to place a lot of bets in her favour.
The eight-year-old mare has participated in 20 races over hurdles until now, winning one of them and finishing runner up on five times. In addition to that, she has also secured the third spot on three occasions, which shows that she is capable of
competing at the front.
Although the John O'Shea’s trainee does not have a good strike rate, she has the tools to deliver a winning run at Worcester. She is carrying a very good momentum, finishing third in her most recent race. She was not rated favourite back then, but
still managed to perform well.
Looking at the current form of My Viking Bay, it seems difficult for others to stop her from taking the top spot today. She will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Josh Wall, who does not have an impressive record at this level and will be looking forward
to turn the tables.
Southway Star is the one, who has also earned the confidence of the bookies for this race. She is a decent performer and has done well in races over hurdles, winning three of them out of 18 attempts.
However, the seven-year-old mare was unable to deliver a string result in her most recent outing, finishing fifth in it. This suggests that she might struggle to cause any problems for My Viking Bay.
