Sparkling hand and Getting Ready to battle in the St James Place Novices’ Hurdle at Newcastle on 6th March
The Class 4 St James Place Novices’ Hurdle is to be held staged at Newcastle over two miles and four furlongs on Tuesday, 6th March. The race that will be contested by nine runners has to offer a purse worth £2, 014 to the winner.
Sparkling Hand, Lend A Hand’s six-year-old bay mare out of mare Sparkling Yasmin, has captured victory right out of the first opportunity that was presented to her.
Sparkling Hand won the S V Rutter Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle on 7th January at Newcastle over two miles and four furlongs. She was in charge of the field of nine by 1 ¾ lengths while riding with Graham Lee.
Finishing the closest to the winner was Micro Mission who rushed in for the wire once the winner was through it. Parking third behind the winner was Thirty Days Out.
Getting her hands clean on the seasonal debut sparks the utmost possibility of her being capable of bagging the second start of the season. This victory was her second career win and putting in effort for a third win is but natural.
Getting Ready, Westerner’s five-year-old bay gelding out of mare last Campaign, has studded his record by grabbing onto the seasonal debut.
He won the Victorchandler.Com Maiden Hurdle on 2nd January at Ayr over two miles while riding with Dougie Costello. After thundering over three and a half lengths, Guess Again joined the winner across the wire and qualified as the runner up.
Securing the third place was the 6/4 favourite of the race Amron Lad.
Getting Ready’s next start in the Bet Mobile At Betvictor.Com “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle on 30th January at Ayr over two miles and four furlongs.
The race was taken away by the 10/11 favourite, Netminder who won the race by a staggering twenty-three lengths. The runner up’s position was conquered by Talkin Sence while reserving the third position was Qirie D’Aron.
Even though he failed the connections through his second start of the season even then they are hopeful about his coming back in form for the third race of the new season.
Is Sparkling Hand has an upper hand in the race today or would get beaten by Getting Ready, will unveil soon.
