Shawkantango favourite for Wednesday’s 32Red Handicap at Wolverhampton
Shawkantango has been awarded with the highest odds for 32Red Handicap, taking place at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, April 04. Derek Shaw’s gelding deserves a lot of respect following his brilliant performance last month.
Despite a couple of poor performances in early March, the five-year-old did not lose his determination. He bounced back in style to seal an emphatic victory in the Horse Racing Free Bets With FreeBetting.co.uk Handicap at Wolverhampton.
The bay gelding’s 2¼-length triumph promoted the bookies to rate him favourite for today’s contest. Only a few hours left for Shawkantango and his rivals to gear up, as the party will begin at 17:30 GMT.
The 5f20y event has attracted ten speedy runners. Their names are: Shawkantango, Angelo Poliziano, Mother Jones, Black Baccara, Diamond Vine, Blown It, Speightowns Kid and No Mean Trick.
Today’s class-5 meeting is an ideal chance for Shawkantango to prove his mettle. Many punters have doubts over his consistency and thus, the newly turned five-year-old needs to register a few straight wins in order to make more fans.
Among his opposition, Angelo Poliziano looks the most powerful. The six-year-old has a good record under Silvestre De Sousa, who is due to ride him today. If he gets some assistance from the track, he will be in great position to do something special.
In his most recent outing, the trainee of Ann Duffield was a bit rusty, as he finished fourth in the williamhill.com Classified Claiming Stakes at the same venue.
Black Baccara did well in her last two races. After sealing a classy victory in the Bhest Racing To School Handicap, the five-year-old mare went on to seize runner-up place in the Horse Racing Free Bets With FreeBetting.co.uk Handicap.
Mother Jones ended up third last time out, after her fascinating victory in the wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Classified Claiming Stakes in February.
Everything looks in favour of Shawkantango. However, it does not mean that the rest of the pack does not have any chance what so ever.
Shawkantango will have to be at his best, as the trio of Angelo Poliziano, Mother Jones and Black Baccara will create many problems for him. We wish best of luck to everyone.
