Rob Conti ready to taste second career victory
Straight from the title of Meade King Robinson Novices' Handicap Chase, the Philip Hobbs trained bay and brown gelding, Rob Conti, is going to prove his talent in the SIS Live Handicap Chase that will be held at Newton Abbot on Monday, September 10.
This is an ideal time for the seven-year-old veteran horse to earn second career victory as track condition is favourable and the rivals are slack.
Hopefully, Rob Conti will convincingly dominate seven competitors on the good course of 2 miles, 5 furlongs and 110 yards while running under Richard Johnson who nicely drove him to thrive in the last race.
The brilliant horse started his career in April 2011. Till May 2012, he struggled badly, provoking many sport experts to predict a dark future for him.
The son of Network out of Initiale Royale proved his class on June 10 by finishing third in the J.D. Pipes Gold Cup Special Novices' Handicap Chase, held at Perth.
Then the French horse emphatically broke his maiden on August 3. During the last three weeks of the last month, he went through extensive drills to build up on the form.
Now, the Patrick Joubert bred gelding is all ready to cope with the challenge the coming contest will pose to him. Many punters are going to stake their money on him. Let us see who he manages to live up to these expectations.
On his way towards the finish line, Rob Conti will have to be wary of Intac who has enough potential to cause an upset anytime. The Colin Tizzard trained bay gelding gained plenty of confidence by winning the Bulmers 125th Anniversary Handicap Chase on August
30. That race went down at Hereford.
Overall, the veteran horse has 8 wins to his name. He is going to run under the same jockey, Joe Tizzard, who last rode him to finish first.
Thus, Intac can prove to be a tough competitor for Rob Conti. A rip-roaring clash is expected between the two worthy runners. A huge crowd of Rob Conti’s fans is likely to turn out to the venue. The party will be amazing to enjoy.
