Picture Dealer looking for a strong run in Loewe Stakes (Handicap)
Picture Dealer will be looking to continue his winning momentum, by claiming the Loewe Stakes (Handicap) at Goodwood in England on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. He will have to outperform 11 other runners in order to win a cash prize of £4,528 from the class-4 encounter.
Speed will be crucial in the 6 furlong race, which has attracted some very good runners. However, most of them have been struggling for consistency, which means that the spectators might get a surprise winner at the end of the day.
The weather has been dry at Goodwood for the past few days, thus the going has remained good. There have been a few showers as well, but they were not heavy enough to affect the racecourse at this venue.
Considering these conditions, the bookmakers have given the best odds to Magic Secret, despite the fact that he is not carrying a very good momentum right now. He started off his career on a positive note with a couple of solid performances, but his form has dipped since then.
This will discourage the punters from risking money in favour of Magic Secret and they will rather go with someone like Picture Dealer, who seems to be in better shape at the moment. He will enter the race with a starting price of 5 to 1 and his fans need to back him up today.
The three-year-old gelding debuted in 2011 and took part in just one race that year. He looked pretty ordinary back then and finished in a disappointing ninth place overall. This was not acceptable for his team, thus he was sent back to the stables for more training.
In his first appearance of the 2012 season, the Gary Moore’s trainee failed to deliver a positive result for his team, but finished fifth this time around, which was much better compared to his debut effort.
However, the young runner improved a lot afterwards and made his team proud on a number of occasions. On flat turf, he has managed to win a couple of races whereas finished as a runner up once as well. He was quick in his previous outing and will look to repeat such a strong show yet again. His partner this time will be George Baker.
