Swingland has solid claims for ladbrokes.com Fillies´ Handicap at Pontefract
Swingland is expected to make a winning comeback in the ladbrokes.com Fillies´ Handicap, taking place at Pontefract on Wednesday, May 02, 2012.
After registering her maiden success in August last year, the 3-year-old went for a long vocation. After staying out of action for more than eight months, Paul Cole’s trainee is returning to the racecourse today.
The bay filly was not impressive on her debut in July last year. However, she quickly improved her work and displayed a fantastic show the following month.
EBF Racing UK Maiden Fillies' Stakes saw her beating Savanna Days by two and a half lengths at the end of August 2011. The bookmakers are likely to give her the highest starting price, as the filly has the ability to beat even
the best in the sport.
The filly is all set for the 1m2f6y event, scheduled to get underway at 16:05 GMT. The going is heavy for the class 3 meeting, which holds a purse of £7,470.
Among the confirmed entries are: Swingland, Antigua Sunrise, Cape Safari, Cala Santanyi, Rythmic, El Torbellino, Rio´s Rosanna, Easy Terms and Call To Reason.
With this heavy ground likely to be a problem for most of the participants, Antigua Sunrise can be a good option for the punters, as she holds a decent track record at Pontefract.
In her penultimate appearance at Pontefract in April 2010, the six-year-old sealed an emphatic win. She continued her good work at this venue, ending up third in the ladbrokes.com Fillies' Handicap in April last year.
With such a decent record under her belt, the Richard Fahey-trained mare is full of confidence.
Cape Safari is in winning mood at the moment. James Tate’s trainee clinched two back-to-back wins last month. After blitzing her rivals at Southwell, the three-year-old filly went on to seal a convincing win in the totepool

According to our calculations, the real contest will be between Swingland and Cape Safari. Antigua Sunrise has a wonderful track record at Pontefract and thus, she cannot be completely overlooked.
