Turn Over Sivola eying victory in CF Roberts Electrical + Mechanical Services Handicap Hurdle
Turn Over Sivola will be the one to watch out for in the CF Roberts Electrical + Mechanical Services Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham in England on Friday, December 14, 2012.
He likes running in this format and it will be difficult for his opponents to prevent him from being competitive. Moreover, he is carrying the winning momentum right now, which will encourage the bettors to gamble on him more than others.
However, there are some other decent stallions lined up for action in the class-3 competition, which is scheduled to kick off at 13:20 GMT. The winner will be awarded a cash prize of £7,507 in the end.
A total of 17 contestants will be competing over 2 miles and 1 furlong, which means that their stamina has to be good. They will have to deal with the good to soft track conditions at Cheltenham, but that might change before the action starts in the afternoon.
Dark Lover has managed to get the attention of the bookmakers, as he has been given the highest odds for a victory. He has got a terrific record in this form of racing and will definitely cause a lot of problems for his rivals.
The seven-year-old gelding has been priced 9 to 2, as the track conditions will suit him a lot. He will definitely get the attention of the bettors, who will be looking to win some easy money over him at the end of the day.
The Paul Nicholls’ trainee has participated in four hurdles until now, winning three of them. He only failed once in this format, but that will not bother him at all, as his success rate is quite high.
On the other hand, Turn Over Sivola could end up spoiling the party for the favourite runner, as he too enjoys running on a rain affected ground. Therefore, he has also been given a very good starting price today.
The Alan King’s trainee has never dropped out of the top-three in races over hurdles, thus his confidence level will be high. He will be ridden by veteran jockey, Robert Thornton, who is fully aware of how to handle pressure at this level.
