Sendinpost favourite for Bathwick Tyres Dorchester Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton
Sendinpost is looking strong for the Bathwick Tyres Dorchester Handicap Hurdle, being held at Wincanton on Thursday, March 08, 2012. According to the program, the show will begin at 16:40 (GMT).
The 2m4f event has seven speedy runners in the line-up. With good to soft going, the Class-5 meeting is expected to produce a lot of drama.
Among the contests are: Sendinpost, Fran´s Folly, Woodlark Island, Spaceman, She´s On The Case, Southerness and Fraam Lea.
Victories seem to have dried up for Sendinpost, although the mare has been performing decently over the last couple of months. The nine-year-old did not run in February, but that does not take anything away from her.
The Venetia Williams-trained made a couple of trips in January, finishing third on both occasions. Despite the fact that she will have to do something different in order to produce a better result, one cannot overlook her chances.
Miss V. M. Williams’ owned mare is yet to secure her maiden success over hurdles, but today’s race is a great chance for her to open her account.
Among her opponents, Fran's Folly is the most dangerous one. The six-year-old is desperate for success, as she is yet to seal her first win.
Her latest outing was quite impressive, as she finished third in the Nottinghamshire Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at Southwell on Feb 29.
An unimpressive track record will not matter much today, as Neil Mulholland’s trainee is confident after a fair performance last time around. As a result of her reasonable effort, the bookmakers are likely to give her the highest odds after Sendinpost.
Woodlark Island seized sixth position in his previous outing. The bay gelding has been struggling with his form since her last win in October 2010.
On the other hand, Spaceman looked good in his previous run, securing second position in the ladbrokesbingo.com Selling Handicap Hurdle in January.
Prediction
Sendinpost deserves respect following her two decent runs over different distances. Fran´s Folly showed a lot of determination in her previous run, but today’s event looks an ideal occasion for Sendinpost. Holding a fair performance under his belt, Spaceman
will aim for an upset.
