Take Of Shoc’s tipped to succeed in Lord Mildmay Memorial Handicap Chase (Listed Race)
Take Of Shoc’s has got a great opportunity of claiming the Lord Mildmay Memorial Handicap Chase (Listed Race) at Newton Abbot in England on Sunday, September 2, 2012. He will have to face a fierce competition from some very good runners, but the track conditions
will suit him more than anyone at the end of the day.
Plenty of rainfall has affected the venue, thus the going will be heavy. This will not be an ideal situation for some of the participants, who would have been extremely strong under normal conditions. They will now be hoping for dry weather before the start
of the 2 mile, 5 furlong and 110 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 15:40 GMT.
The all important class-1 event has attracted some quality runners and they will definitely entertain the spectators today. However, some of the trainer might opt to skip the race because of the track conditions.
Although, the situation has become quite uncertain because of rain, yet the bookies believe that the competition will be a close one. They have given the best odds to Shooters Wood, who has just won a single race in his career. He might fail to get the attention
of the punters, as the conditions are not favourable for him.
On the other hand, Take Of Shoc’s will welcome the rain more than anyone else, as he has a great chance of winning the cash prize of £14,238 under these circumstances. He has been priced 5 to 1 by the bookies and will definitely attract some bets in his
favour.
The eight-year-old gelding has appeared in a dozen events, but has been unable to maintain a good winning percentage. He has won just a couple of races, but has the potential to add more victories to that tally.
In addition to that, the Rebecca Curtis’ trainee has finished as a runner up on three occasions whereas secured the third spot once. His performances in the ongoing season have been really impressive and he will look to carry on with the same momentum from
now onwards. He will be partnered by experienced jockey, Will Kennedy, who has won quite a few events at this level.
