Sigurwana to handle Polytrack better than Miss Dashwood in Attheraces.com Breeders´ Cup Site Now Live Fillies´ Handicap at Wolverhampton
Sigurwana got off the mark in style, when making all at Newcastle last time. The William Haggas-trained is an unexposed sort, and handles Polytrack very well. It is highly likely that the filly will not find any trouble in stealing the show in the Attheraces.com Breeders´ Cup Site Now Live Fillies´ Handicap at Wolverhampton on Thursday, October 25th.
The bay and brown filly performed below par last year, but has been maintaining the standards since the start of this season. After making three classy acts at different venues, she finally succeeded in opening her account last month.
It was not an easy ride. On Newcastle’s good one mile, the talented filly showed an impeccable performance. Under Paul Hanagan, the 5-2 chance held on gamely to beat the favourite, A'Juba, by a length’s distance.
Owned by A. E. Oppenheimer, the daughter of Arch was unlucky on her previous visit here. In the 32Red Casino Maiden Fillies' Stakes in August, Sigurwana finished first, but due to disqualification, she was placed second.
It was a great effort though, and the memories of that are still fresh. The 3-year-old is brimming with confidence following a wonderful strike, and can do better that what she did here last time.
The main danger is Miss Dashwood, who won a race here at the start of this month. In the hands of Eddie Ahern, the James Fanshawe-trained justified her highest price of 15 to 8, and notched up the first place by a length’s distance.
The conditions are same, but the opposition is a lot tougher this time. Dropping in trip might also become an issue for the young filly. However, she is a progressive sort, who has solid claims.
Including the top two, there are 13 horses in the pack. The competition is for a prize of £2,588, and it will start at 18:10 GMT. The race will be held over one mile and 141 yards.
There are several skilful runners in the line-up, but the punters should stick only with Miss Dashwood and Sigurwana. This trip is goes to favour the latter one, who certainly deserves preference. Good luck to all.
