Slick Santiago set for a cracking show in Stadium Bookmakers Standard Trophy at Nottingham
The bookies have done the right thing by giving Slick Santiago the highest odds for Monday’s Stadium Bookmakers Standard Trophy at Nottingham. The black dog surely deserves plenty of respect on his latest acts.
After making flying trials here and at Romford, he is raring to go. There are no doubts over his class, and therefore one can easily expect him to make a winning comeback.
The trainee of K. Allsop went on vacations in October. After facing a terrible loss at Hall Green in September, the son of Droopys Scolari took a break of more than six weeks.
He returned with great ambition, but nothing worked for the big fellow. He, however, showed good improvement, and sealed the second place at Coventry on October 21st.
It was a very good ride, as he missed the crown only by half a length. Having taken a long break, he is aiming to return with great fire. The recent trials suggest that all is well for him. All he needs to fire is one hundred percent effort.
Among the rivals are: Head Iton Eoin, Cleveland Peter, Razldazl Panda, Ardmayle Driver, and Conor Pass Mick. The 500 metres contest is scheduled to begin at 19:48 GMT. A cash prize of 200 pounds is reserved for the triumphant hound.
Conor Pass Mick stays but likely to need the run. The black dog has done reasonably well in the fresh trials, but this is a different ball game. The draw is a massive plus for him though.
Head Iton Eoin took a surprise but welcome win last week. The black dog is well drawn, and holds a few things in favour. It is hard to take anything away from him.
Ardmayle Driver is coming into form, but has a tricky slot to overcome. Cleveland Peter bags of early pace, but the 500 metres take him to the edge.
Razldazl Panda was behind Head Iton Eoin last week, but still ran pretty well. On that good run, the white and black dog should be respected. We wish the best of luck to all the hounds.
