Royal Entourage likely to prevail in the Racinguk.com Lady Amateur Riders’ Handicap Hurdle
Royal Entourage seems in a good position to take victory in the Racinguk.com Lady Amateur Riders’ Handicap Hurdle at Catterick in England on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. The triumphant horse will be awarded with a cash prize of £1,976.
A total of 15 runners have been attracted towards the 2 miles 3 furlong event and their names are: Royal Entourage, Dar Es Salaam, Karmadice, Waltham Abbey, Dance Sauvage, On The Right Path, Kingdom Of Munster, Orlittlebylittle, Into The Light, Andy Vic,
Samizdat, Rexmehead, Front Rank, Jan Smuts and Peak Seasons.
Royal Entourage has entered nine hurdles in his career, winning just one of them. Although the winning percentage does not suggest that he will finish on top of the table, he is still the best candidate for victory.
The seven-year-old gelding, trained by Philip Kirby, will be partnered by Miss Joanna Mason today. She is trying to make her name in horseracing and has not been able to perform consistently in her relatively new career. However, she has a very good chance
to make a solid impression at Catterick.
Another runner expected to finish in the top three is Dar Es Salaam, trained by James Moffatt. He does not have any hurdle victory to his name until now, but certainly has the potential to change that today.
The eight-year-old gelding has taken part in 12 hurdles until now and there have been three occasions, where he finished in top three. He will be ridden by Miss Rebecca Sparkes, who has featured in just a couple of hurdles in her career.
The impressive thing about Rebecca is that she finished runner up in one of those runs. This will encourage the punters to invest on her horse at Catterick.
Karmadice, trained by Sue Smith, will also be the bookmakers’ favourite, as he has won a hurdle race once. However, that victory came out of 13 outings, which indicates that his winning percentage is on the lower side.
Despite that, Karmadice has a very good chance to win today, as the rest of the runners are relatively inexperienced. He will be partnered by Miss Samantha Drake, who is chasing her maiden hurdle victory.
There are some other very good runners for the race today, but the best chances are with Royal Entourage, who seems to be in a very good shape at the moment.
