Rigid Rock tipped to win Twilight BBQ Handicap (Div I)
Rigid Rock is likely to claim the Twilight BBQ Handicap (Div I) at Limerick in Ireland on Saturday, June 16, 2012. A cash prize of €3,850 will be awarded to the winner of the 6 furlong 160 yard event.
The going will be good to yielding and the action is scheduled to start at 18:55 GMT. A total of 14 runners have been attracted towards the race and their names are as follows: Bangalore Diamond, Rose Garnet, Rigid Rock, Ceol Na Mara, Luckiest Owners, Sleepytimegirl, Fit The Cove, Notgonnagiveup, Pimlico Sound, Topadee, The Hamptons, Cookie Crumbles, Carrowbane and Strategic Heights.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Rigid Rock seems to have the best chance of winning, as he is in good form and the track conditions will also suit his running style. He will definitely attract a lot of bets from the punters today.
The five-year-old gelding has got a lot of experience and he has delivered consistent results at different venues. It will be difficult for his opponents to match him, as most of them are struggling for form right now.
Rigid Rock has participated in 35 races, winning three of them and finishing runner up on four times. Moreover, he has also secured the third spot on a couple of occasions, which shows that he has the ability to fight at the front with consistency.
The J. T. Gorman’s trainee has finished in the top five in his previous seven outings, which shows the kind of form he is in at the moment. He was unable to make a solid impression in his most recent race, as he finished fifth in it. Despite not being rated as the favourite back then, he was expected to fight amongst the top three.
However, the favourite runner has the potential to make a strong comeback in today’s race. He will be partnered by K. J. Manning, who does not have a lot of experience, but certainly has the skills to perform well.
There is a slight possibility that Sleepytimegirl might manage to fight for victory in the race. She does not have a lot of experience, but the conditions might work in her favour today. She has entered four events until now, but has never finished first.
However, the Kevin Prendergast’s trainee has finished runner up once, which shows that she has the potential to fight for victory today.
