Sergeant Troy rated favourite for Olly Murs At Kempton Park 17.08.2012 Handicap
Sergeant Troy has won the best odds for the Olly Murs At Kempton Park 17.08.2012 Handicap at Kempton in England on Monday, April 30, 2012. The winner of the class-6 race will be awarded a cash prize of £1,617.
The going will be standard in the 1 mile race, which is scheduled to start at 14:15 GMT. A total of 14 runners will be seen in action and their names are as follows: Sergeant Troy, Prince Of Passion, Matavia Bay, Irie Ute, Captainrisk, Fitz, Gallantry, Holyfield
Warrior, Karate, Having A Ball, Querido, Alexs Rainbow, Luisa Tetrazzini and Vantaa.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Sergeant Troy has managed to win the confidence of the bookies, despite the fact that he does not have a good strike rate. He has been unable to make a solid impression in recent times, thus the punters might be discouraged
to place bets in his favour.
The four-year-old gelding has participated in 13 races until now, winning one of them. Other than that, he has never managed to finish in top three, which suggests that he is not a consistent performer.
Sergeant Troy was rated as favourite in his most recent outing, but he failed to meet the expectations of the bookies, as he finished fourth in the end. He was expected to end up a lot higher, but lacked the stamina to match his rivals.
The George Baker’s trained runner will be partnered by Pat Cosgrave, who has won quite a few races at this level. However, his strike rate is not impressive and will need to bring a lot more consistency in his performances.
On the other hand, Prince Of Passion might also attract a few bets in his favour, as he is a decent performer. He has participated in 18 events until now, winning one of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he also has a couple of third
place finishes to his name.
The four-year-old gelding is not in good form though, as he finished fifth in his previous race. He will be partnered by Neil Callan, who is a veteran jockey.
Other than the top two favourites, Matavia Bay, Irie Ute and Captainrisk will also be the ones to watch out for in the race.
