Queen Grace expected to be strong in Betfred Sharples Group Handicap (Div I)
Queen Grace has got a great chance of dominating the proceedings in the Betfred Sharples Group Handicap (Div I) at Haydock in England on Friday, September 7, 2012. She has been in very good form in the ongoing season and her opponents have been struggling
for consistency on the other hand. This will give her an opportunity to claim the cash prize of £4,205 from the class-4 contest comfortably.
Although, the weather in England affected a lot of events this summer, things have been going well in recent times. There has been no rain at Haydock overnight, which has left the track good to firm overall. This will be a good sign for all the participants
and they will be eagerly looking forward to the start of action at 14:00 GMT.
The distance to cover in the race will be 5 furlongs, which means that the start will be crucial. The one who gains early momentum will be in a position to exert pressure on the opponents in the end.
At the moment, Queen Grace seems to be the most confident and quickest contestant of the lot. She has got some useful experience and is carrying the winning momentum right now, which will help her dictate terms at Haydock. She has never appeared at this
venue before, but that will not be a big concern for her at the end of the day.
The five-year-old mare has been given a general starting price of 3 to 1 by the bookies and she is likely to attract the maximum number of bets in her favour because of her decent form.
The Michael J. Browne’s trainee debuted in 2011 and was unable to make an impression in her first three outings. Her confidence was shattered, but she needed one good run in order to regain it. In the fourth race of her career, she finished as a runner up,
which made her a lot more comfortable.
Since then, the Irish mare has been delivering good results with consistency. The ongoing season has turned out to be a good one for her, as she has succeeded on a couple of times already. She will be looking to add more victories to that tally by the end
of the year and her partner Shane Gray will be helping her achieve that goal.
