Westmead Shaw set to steal the show in John Smiths Kent Derby - Heat 1 at Sittingbourne
An opening acceleration can help Westmead Shaw take lead and retain his advantage until the end of John Smiths Kent Derby - Heat 1, taking place at Sittingbourne on Sunday, August 5th.
The 480 metres open race has attracted a star-studded line-up, and every single hound is determined to do something special. Nevertheless, Westmead Shaw’s winning momentum makes him favourite for today’s mega meeting, which is scheduled to begin at 19:52 GMT.
The black dog has two wonderful wins under his belt. After doing a classy act here, Nick Savva’s charge travelled to Henlow, where he demonstrated an equally good show in late July. A 460 metres open race saw him topping the table by one and a half lengths.
After a couple of fascinating performances, the son of Ballymac Maeve is full of spirit. It should not be an uneasy trip for him, if he puts in his one hundred effort. The dashing hound is all set to meet a dangerous opposition. Among his rivals are: Sakara Star, Zodiac Zeus, Ballycowen Dave, Rayvin Again and Star Cash Simon.
Star Cash Simon has a bit to do if wanting the big cheque. The brindle dog was a comfortable winner in his previous appearance at Yarmouth, but it was at the lower level. His recent solo outing suggest that he can be a threat, but still it will be a dangerous move to bet on him.
Zodiac Zeus should apply plenty of early pressure in order to thrive today. The black hound was outsmarted by Westmead Shaw on his second last outing. Dishing out revenge would be a tough task for him.
Sakara Star gives impression that he can take off at any time. However, S. Cahill’s trainee will be under a lot of pressure after a few unlucky rides at Hove lately. Rayvin Again might find it hard to topple this line-up. Ballycowen Dave ran some decent races in defeat recently, but this is far from easy.
According to our calculations, Zodiac Zeus is the main danger to Westmead Shaw, who will be tough to beat. We wish the best of luck to all the runners.
