Personal Touch favourite for Investec Structured Products Handicap
Personal Touch has been rated as favourite to win the Investec Structured Products Handicap at Chester in England on Thursday, May 10, 2012. The winning horse will be awarded a cash prize of £9,057.
The speed of all runners will be tested in the 6 furlong 18 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 16:15 GMT. A total of 12 runners will be seen in action at Chester and their names are as follows: Personal Touch, Decision By One, Jack Dexter, Marford
Missile, Kimbali, Whisky Bravo, Gabrial´s Bounty, Intransigent, Master Of Ages, Profile Star, Rusty Rocket and Hamza.
Redair and Knocker Knowles were also scheduled to take place in the race, but their participation is now doubtful. A final decision on their participation will be made before the start of the action by their respective trainers.
Looking at the overall statistics of the runners, the bookmakers have decided to favour Personal Touch for this race. He has done well at this level until now, thus the bettors will be encouraged to risk some bets in his favour.
The three-year-old gelding has participated in six races until now, winning one of them. Moreover, he has also secured three runners up positions, which means that he failed to make it to the top three only twice.
In his most recent run, the Richard Fahey’s trainee was unable to make a big impression, as he finished fourth overall. The result was still not bad, as there were some quality runners taking part in that event.
Personal Touch will be partnered by Tony Hamilton, who has earned quite a lot of victories at this level, but does not have a good strike rate. He will need to win more consistently in order to earn the confidence of the punters.
Another runner, who has the ability to take the top spot in the race, is Jack Dexter. He has taken part in a couple of races, winning one of them and finishing runner up in the other. This goes on to show that he is fully capable of fighting the best in
the business.
Decision By One will be the other runner to watch out for in the race, as he has the ability to spring up a surprise.
