The stamina of all runners will be put to a test in the race, as the overall distance to cover will be 1 mile 65 yards. The going will be good to firm and the action is scheduled to start at 15:30 GMT.
A total of 10 runners have been attracted towards the race and their names are as follows: Silly Gilly, All For You, Indian Giver, Spavento, Hikma, Cut The Cackle, More Bottle, Naafetha, Barbarella Blue and Sheedal.
Looking at the experience and form of Silly Gilly, it appears that she will walk away with a victory today. However, things will not be easy for her, as the level of competition is quite tough.
The eight-year-old mare has participated in 77 races until now, winning five of them. In addition to that, she has also secured the runner up spot on 13 times whereas finished third on the same number of times.
The Ron Barr’s trainee performed brilliantly in her most recent race, as she finished runner up in it. She was expected to struggle back then, as there were some quality runners up against her. However, she proved everyone wrong and fought hard for victory,
finishing just half a length behind the winner.
Silly Gilly will be partnered by seasoned runner, Shane B. Kelly, who does not have a good strike rate, but has been performing well in recent times. He will definitely be full of confidence heading into the race at Hamilton.
On the other hand, All For You has managed to win the confidence of the bookies because of her good performances in recent times. She has taken part in 12 races until now, winning just a couple of them.
In addition to that, the six-year-old mare has secured the runner up spot once whereas finished third on three occasions. She is carrying a very good momentum right now, as she finished third in her previous outing. Therefore, the contest between her and
Silly Gilly will be an interesting one today.
