Shirocco Star gets the best odds for Voute Sales Warwickshire Oaks Stakes – Horseracing News
Shirocco Star has been given the best odds for winning the Voute Sales Warwickshire Oaks Stakes (Listed Race) in England.
The young filly has been unlucky on numerous times in her career but seems set to bring up the second victory of her career. She is highly talented and has the potential to fight against the best in the business in major competitions.
However, her confidence level is a touch low because of the fact that she has been mostly unable to convert her strong runs into race victories. Once she manages to do that with consistency, it will be hard to stop her.
The four-year-old runner failed to make a strong impression in her first race of the 2013 season but her camp is optimistic that she will turn the tables this time around. She finished fifth back then, but has been preparing well
for the Oaks.
According to her trainer Hughie Morrison, “She didn't show her true talents at Newmarket but hopefully she'll put that right here. She has been working better than she had been before Newmarket.”
He added, “We'd like her to get her head in front again after so many great efforts in top company, but it's never easy. She had a hard season last year but hopefully this will be a stepping stone to something better.”
Looking at the record of Shirocco Star, one can easily tell how much talented she is but at the same time, she has not enjoyed much luck throughout her career. She has appeared in a total of 10 events and was successful in only
one of them.
Judging by that, Morrison’s trainee is quite an ordinary performer. However, the complete statistics make the picture clearer, as she has finished as a runner up on six times whereas secure the third spot once, which means that
she has only dropped out of the top-three twice in her career.
Although there are some decent challengers up against the favourite filly at Warwick, she will grab the attention of the bettors more than anyone else. If she manages to display a solid result in the race, her reputation will become
a lot better.
