Whiteoak Lady expected to win Hardings Catering Handicap (Div II)
Whiteoak Lady is tipped to prevail in the Hardings Catering Handicap (Div II) at Brighton in England on Tuesday, July 3, 2012. A cash prize of £1,617 has been set for the winner of the class-6 race.
The 5 furlong 213 yard event will test the speed of 12 runners, who will be seen in action at 14:45 GMT. The bettors will have to be extremely careful before choosing their favourite today, as most of the participants have been struggling for consistency
in recent times.
However, Whiteoak Lady has been performing well over the past couple of events, which will help her get the attention of everyone today. Although she does not have a good strike rate, she cannot be ruled out of contention, as none of her competitors have
a dominant record.
The bookmakers have also given decent odds to the seven-year-old mare, as they expect her to be strong in these conditions. She has been priced 9 to 2 and it will be difficult for her opponents to challenge her for victory.
Overall, the David Evans’ trained runner has participated in 24 events, winning four of them whereas finished third on the same number of times. She debuted in 2007, but missed a couple of seasons, due to which she has not taken part in a lot of races.
Medecis’ daughter out of French Toast made a comeback to the sport in 2012, but was unable to make an impression in her first few outings. It seemed that she would struggle to fight at the front again, as her form was not good at all.
However, Whiteoak Lady made a big improvement in her penultimate run and finished first by a neck distance. She was given a starting price of 20 to 1, but surprised one and all with her speed in the end.
In her most recent run, the Irish mare finished third overall, which was quite a decent result. This shows that she is full of confidence right now and will be a force to reckon with at Brighton. Her partner in the race will be Andrea Atzeni, who has enjoyed
a lot of success in his career and will be hoping for another solid run today.
