Pocketfullapennies geared up to shine in Ballycahill Beginners Chase at Thurles
Pocketfullapennies is all set to outplay his rivals in the Ballycahill Beginners Chase, to be held at Thurles on Thursday, March 1, 2012.
With 11 talented runners, the excitement will begin at 15:25 (GMT). A cash prize worth €5,520 will be given to the best performer.
The list of participants includes Pocketfullapennies, Big Game Hunter, Next Week, Ce Mhead, Paddy The Oscar, Cooldine Run, Breens Boy, West Cork Flash, Castlesaffron, Bb Bonita and Deeshan.
The abovementioned line-up has many big names and thus, it will not be an easy outing for anyone. However,
Pocketfullapennies seems in better position to enjoy the party.
The bookies are rating him quite highly following his fantastic performance in mid February. Although the six-year-old failed to grab the top slot, his performance was good enough to impress the punters.
The gelding managed to secure second position on the table, falling 2 ¼ lengths adrift of Mr Eko. After a fair performance, his connections are expecting him to maintain the good work and do something special in today’s event.
However, his supporters cannot take anything for granted, as Big Game Hunter will fancy his chances. The six-year-old gelding holds immense talent and it will be a mistake to take him lightly.
M. F. Morris’ trainee failed to perform well in his latest outing on February 1, when he finished sixth in the N.I. Hotels Federation Beginners Chase at Down Royal.
Nonetheless, the punters have pinned up a lot of hopes on him, expecting him to make a strong return.
Next Week is another dangerous contender who has decent chances of doing well. After a long break, the 10-year-old made his comeback in early February.
His supporters were anticipating a huge bang, but the gelding could not live up to the expectations. Today’s race is another big opportunity for James Joseph Mangan’s trainee to regain his lost rhythm.
Conclusion
Pocketfullapennies will look to come up with an improved show this time around. The six-year-old is likely to deliver a thumping performance, as no one else is in position to challenge him.
However, Big Game Hunter and Next Week cannot be ignored, especially when both geldings are hungry for success.
