Petrocelli expected to cause an upset in Bet On Wimbledon Final At totepool.com Handicap
Petrocelli is expected to cause an upset in the Bet On Wimbledon Final At totepool.com Handicap at Ayr in England on Sunday, July 8, 2012. A cash prize of £1,909 will be given to the triumphant runner.
The class-6 event is scheduled to start at 15:00 GMT and a total of 14 runners have been attracted towards it. Moreover, the going will be soft in the 1 mile race, which will test the stamina of everyone.
Looking at the soft ground, the punters might risk some of their money on Petrocelli, who is likely to do well in these conditions. He has been given a general starting price of 15 o 2 by the bookies and he is carrying a decent momentum right now. His team
will definitely welcome more rain, as it will make him stronger.
The five-year-old gelding does not have an impressive record, yet he has the ability to fight at the front, if things go well for him. He has managed to win just once out of 25 races, which shows that he has a poor strike rate.
However, the Wilf Storey’s trainee has got a few top-three finishes, which means that he has the ability to battle at the front. He will just need some luck in order to take the top spot at Ayr.
The seasoned gelding made his debut in 2009 and he did a decent job back then, finish fourth in his first ever race. He followed that up with a third place finish, which helped him get the attention of everyone.
There were a couple of more decent performances from him afterwards, but he failed to bring up his maiden victory in that season. However, he did not have to wait long, as he finally got his first victory in 2010. He was given a starting price of 5 to 2
back then and upset the favourite by three quarters.
Although Petrocelli looked quite confident afterwards, he was unable to win any more races. He has raced just once in the ongoing season and his performance in it was spectacular. Despite being unable to win, he finished runner up by just one quarter.
Piccolo’s son is in decent rhythm and will definitely do well under seasoned rider, James Sullivan.
