Sandwith tipped to win Musselburgh Festival Handicap
Sandwith has a great chance of claiming the top spot in the Musselburgh Festival Handicap at Musselburgh in England on Tuesday, July 24, 2012. The class-4 winner will bag a cash prize of £4,528 in the end.
The going will be good in the 5 furlong event, which will start at 16:00 GMT. There are a total of 10 runners lined up for action today and a few of them have been performing extremely well over the past few events.
Although the competition will be a stiff one, Sandwith has got an advantage over his opponents because of his form and experience. He will definitely enjoy the conditions at Musselburgh, thus the punters will be encouraged to risk money on him. He has been
given a general starting price of 12 to 1 by the bookmakers today.
The nine-year-old gelding has been in the sport for quite some time and knows how to handle pressure. He has participated in a total of 83 events, which shows how much experience he has gained over the years.
However, the seasoned runner does not have a very good winning percentage, which is a negative point for him. He has triumphed in 10 events and finished runner up on the same number of times as well. Moreover, he has secured the third spot on seven occasions,
which shows that he has the ability to fight for top positions.
The George Foster’s trained runner made his debut in the sport back in 2005, but had to wait for quite some time before bringing up his maiden victory in the sport. His first season did not prove to be an ideal one for him, but the start to next year was
good for him, as he won his first race back then.
Since then, Sandwith has had quite a few ups and downs in his career, but he has always been a threat for his opponents. He has shown signs of good form in the ongoing season and has been victorious on three occasions already. This goes onto show that he
is fully confident right now and will make things extremely difficult for his opponents in the race.
Perryston View’s son will be partnered by L. McNiff, who has accompanied him on a few occasions in the past as well.
