Shakervilz likely to cause an upset in Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase
Shakervilz will be looking to surprise his opponents by claiming the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase at Cheltenham in England on Friday, December 14, 2012. He has been in a decent touch over the past few months, which will give him the confidence
to shine today.
The seasoned runner is not overly dependent on the track conditions, which is a positive sign for his team. He has the ability to adjust in different circumstances, which helps him deliver solid results with consistency.
He will have to deal with good to soft track conditions in the class-2 race, which is going to start at 14:30 GMT. This will not be an issue for him, but some of his opponents will not like such a situation.
However, there are a few runners, who will be even stronger on a rain affected field and they will be looking to make the most of it in the end.
Stamina will be the key in today’s 3 mile, 7 furlong competition, which has a cash prize of £21,896 for the winner.
Although, all of the stallions are fully capable of pulling off a surprise in the race, yet the bookies believe that the real battle will be amongst a few of them. They have given the best odds to Uncle Junior, who has maintained a pretty decent record in
such events.
The seasoned campaigner has been in the sport for quite some time and knows how to handle pressure at this level. Moreover, he will like the conditions more than others, which will help him attract a lot of bets from the punters.
The W. P. Mullins’ trainee is carrying the winning momentum right now, which means that his confidence level will be good. His last victory came at Cheltenham, so he is fully aware of this racecourse.
Therefore, it will be a challenge for others to beat him in the end. However, he will definitely be given a tough time by Shakervilz, who has been enjoying a very nice rhythm recently.
He did a reasonable job in his most recent race, finishing third in it. Therefore, it will be a clever idea to gamble on him too. He will be accompanied by Danny Mullins in the race.
