Shantou Breeze to prevail in the Higos Insurance Crewkerne Mares´ Novices´ Hurdle at Wincanton
The Class 4 Higos Insurance Crewkerne Mares´ Novices´ Hurdle will take place on 5th April, 2012, at Wincanton.
Miss Tenacious, Hill Forts Gloria, Shantou Breeze, and Wilde Ruby will compete over the 2 mile and 6 furlong distance, which has been labelled firm, for a purse of £2,599.
Miss Tenacious may be able to claim a solid finish today, and take the race from the other competitors.
She started her season with a placed position, as she stood third in the Check Betfair Before You Bet Novices' Hurdle at Taunton on 19th January, 2012, where she was mounted by Timmy Murphy.
Under his guidance, she started off in a steady manner, and led for some time but lost momentum as the other runners gained pace and overtook her.
Trained by Ron Hodges for owners, John Frampton and Paul Frampton, the five-year-old mare is expected to deliver a good performance today.
The daughter of Refuse To Bend, out of mare, Very Speed, finished fourth in her most recent start. Ridden by Denis O’Regan, she chased the leader, but slowed down and fell a short-head behind the third place winner, James Pollard.
Shantou Breeze, daughter of Shantou, out of Homersmare, may show progression on the track today. She finished fifth in a line-up of seventeen runners in the Lingfieldpark.co.uk "National Hunt" Maiden Hurdle at Lingfield on 23rd February,
2012.
This was her seasonal start, where she was paired with jockey Marc Goldstein.
Mounted by Joshua Moore, she was pulled up from the Butlins Bognor Regis Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Fontwell on 26th December, 2011, as she sustained an injury. Her chances of a solid finish looked bright before she was pulled
up from the race.
Owned by Ian M. McGready, the mare is under the training of Michael Madgwick. He has been working hard on her form. He has confidence in her ability and that she will make him proud today.
Shantou Breeze is gaining most of the market attention for this race. The bettors speculate that she will show major improvement and take the track by storm today, which will help her bag a victory. Miss Tenacious will not be easy to beat and will
give Shantou Breeze a tough time on the track.
