St Ignatius looking for an upset in 32Red Handicap (For Lady Amateur Riders)
St Ignatius will be looking to cause an upset in the 32Red Handicap (For Lady Amateur Riders) at Kempton in England on Thursday, August 30, 2012. He will need a special effort to do so, but has the ability of surprising his opponents. Moreover, he has also
got the experience to outperform his rivals in the class-4 event for a cash prize of £3,931.
The stamina of all runners will be tested in the 1 mile 4 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 20:20 GMT. Most of the runners have been struggling for consistency in recent times, thus it is an opportunity for them to break the shackles and make
their team proud in the end.
However, the bookmakers have shown confidence in the abilities of Spin Cast, who has been producing some good results with consistency over the past few events. He does not have a very good strike rate, as he has managed to win just once out of 12 races,
but his overall performances have not been bad at all.
Looking at the low winning percentage of the favourite runner, the punters might hesitate to risk money on him today. They might choose someone like St Ignatius instead, as he has been around for quite some time and knows how to tackle with pressure situations.
He has been priced 7 to 1 today and his team will be hoping for a solid show.
The five-year-old gelding started off his career at Kempton in 2009, thus he has got some good memories from this track. However, he has never been able to win a race at this venue, which is a discouraging sign for his team.
Despite that, the Alan Bailey’s trainee cannot be taken lightly at all. He will be under some pressure, but is fully aware of getting out of it. In his most recent race at Kempton, he finished in fourth place, which was not a bad result.
However, a much better effort will be required from the seasoned runner in order to take the top spot today. He is carrying a nice momentum right now, as he finished third in his previous outing. His partner in the race will be Miss S. M. Doolan.
