Horse Racing Tips - 1st Meeting - March 27

Race 6: The Badinage Merven 90th Anniversary Cup


The sixth race will see 6 horses competing for the Badinage Merven 90Th Anniversary Cup, which is a sprint on the 1365m for horses rated between 50-65. Let us have a look at the contenders.

1. Bright Stone: 5th Draw; 60Kg; Naiko; acts on soft and heavy tracks -  Was once known for his initial speed and a very competitive sprinter in his class. Has won on 1000m but this was 2 years back. Seems to have lost his initial speed as a sprinter and is best suited over longer. Outsider's chance for me.

2. Camden's Choice: 1st Draw; 60Kg; Jones; acts on soft and better on heavy tracks - A horse that has won his races on wet tracks in Mauritius. Seems to be a summer horse. Needs some more races. Outsider's Chance.

3. Stateship: 3rd Draw; 60Kg; Lermytte; better on normal/soft tracks - Very good sprinter with lots of initial speed. Can lead or sit behind leader before firing in the home turn. Impressive at training. Does very well after break normally. Stands a very good chance.

4. Eli's Connection: 2nd Draw; 59Kg; Lacaille; acts on normal/soft - A horse that has runs against top class oppositions like Molten, The Cardinal & Revolution. Is now down in class. Well placed in the barriers, will surely follow the leaders in a midfield position before attacking in the final straight. Has a devastating finish if handled well in the initial stages as shown when he was runner up to Northern Frontier last year. Is in superb form actually. Can break the ice tomorrow with Lacaille on board.

5. Young Pretender: 4th Draw; 57Kg; Boutanive; acts on normal - A strong finisher, runs well fresh. Should be in the quartet.

6. Champ In Action: 6th Draw; 55Kg; Yeung Ki; does well on normal - Was once a very good sprinter but lost form since with age factor affecting him probably. Has gone down in class. Runs well fresh normally. An outsider's chance.

Conclusion: Eli's Connection should win it by a close margin against Stateship, with Young Pretender and Bright Stone making it for the quartet.
