Starwatch primed to stand first in Whatacaper.Com Handicap
Starwatch is strong enough to earn the title of Standing Sire Whatacaper.Com Handicap, a Class 4 contest that will take place at Windsor racecourse on Monday, April 16.
The high-voltage race over a distance of 1 mile and 67 yards is scheduled to commence at 4:30 (GMT). The prize purse contains £4,852.
Starwatch is quite ready to compete against 13 potential runners including Ree´s Rascal, Islesman, Moone´s My Name, Zafeen´s Pearl, Duster, Starwatch, Alhaban, Borug, Odin, Aciano, Ezdeyaad, Benandonner and Moynahan.
The John Bridger-trained bay gelding owns a traffic track record. During July-August 2011, the extra-ordinarily talented runner accomplished four epic victories in a row.
The brilliant horse went on to finish 3rd in a tough competition on August 27. The day of September 11 was again a luck one for him as the veteran sprinter elegantly notched up top spot in Goodwood.Com Bonus Stakes (Handicap) while competing against
7 rivals.
Overall, the five-year-old experienced horse has won 7 out of his total 38 races so far, earning £32,288. His career is marked with great consistency.
The outstanding success streak that Starwatch has been carrying since the last few months is sufficient to suggest that he will make a big impact in today’s marathon. The gelding’s chances to thrive are as high as 98 percent.
Out of the favourite horse’s rivals, Alhaban and Odin are also likely to deliver sterling performances in the Handicap.
Alhaban has been enjoying great form since the dawn of 2012. The Ronald Harris-trained grey gelding beautifully won a race each in the first three months of the year. The veteran sprinter went on to finish 4th in his last start on March 29.
Odin excellently clinched top spot in his second last race on January 31, 2011. David Elsworth’s bay gelding finished 7th in the very next outing on April 20. Overall, he owns a rick track record.
Come what may, Starwatch will definitely be able to make his way towards victory convincingly. Let us enjoy the heated action and see how the hot favourite runner tastes success. Good luck to him.
