Rocktherunway set to make a strong impact in Weatherbys Printing Handicap
Rocktherunway will be looking to make a strong impression in the Weatherbys Printing Handicap at Salisbury in England on Friday, August 31, 2012. He has never raced at this venue in the past, but that will not be a concern for him, as he is fully capable
of coping up with the change in conditions.
The going has been described as soft in the class-4 event, which has a cash prize of £4,528 for the winner. A total of 10 runners will be trying their luck today, but some of them might be withdrawn by their trainers because of the track conditions.
Stamina will be the key in the 1 mile 4 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 19:10 GMT. Considering this, the bookmakers have given the best odds to Trend Is My Friend, despite the fact that he does not have an impressive record. He has appeared
in five events until now, winning just one of them, which will discourage the punters from risking money on him.
On the other hand, Rocktherunway has got a better record, as he has been delivering good results with consistency. He will definitely enjoy the track conditions at this venue, which will give an edge to him over his main rivals. He will definitely get the
attention of the punters today.
The three-year-old gelding has appeared in a total of 11 races in his career, but has managed to win just a couple of them. In addition to that, he has finished as a runner up on four times whereas secured the third spot once.
This goes onto show that the young runner has got the ability to challenge his opponents for victory with consistency. He finished as a runner up in his most recent outing, which means that he is carrying a decent momentum right now.
However, the Michael Dods’ trainee was rated as the favourite to succeed back then and should have been a lot more competitive. Despite that, his team would have been pleased with his performance.
Rocktherunway made his debut in 2011, but was unable to win any event back then. However, his form in the ongoing season has been terrific, thus he has a great chance of winning under Jim Crowley.
