Lining up at Catterick for the 16:00 Race 5 racingtv.com Mares' Handicap Hurdle over 1m 7f 156y on a going described as heavy-soft in places, Adaay Dancing is one to watch. Jockey David Bass partners with trainer Max Comley, and they're presented with a rather intriguing scenario this Wednesday. The 5-year-old mare, bearing live odds of 6, shows she might just be a value bet in this match-up. With recent form figures that don't shout the loudest (zero wins from five starts in the last 180 days), Adaay Dancing hasn't been lighting up the winner's circle. Long term performance over 720 days also indicates an absence in the winner's enclosure. However, the combination of Bass and Comley has pulled off some decent performances elsewhere, even if recent track-specific statistics aren't exactly setting the world on fire. It seems Adaay Dancing might have her work cut out, but unpredictability is the name of the game in handicap hurdles! Two other horses in the fray catch the eye. Voodoo Angel, with Charlie Maggs aboard, stands out at short odds of 3 but has also been struggling to find form with no wins in recent outings. Meanwhile, Vanilla Dancer, slightly ahead at even shorter odds of 2.2 and coupled with jockey Danny McMenamin, could pose a threat based on more positive recent form. However, with none of the horses displaying dominant form, Adaay Dancing could take advantage of a ripe situation if she can rise to the occasion under David Bass’s guidance. Remember, folks: It's not just about picking winners but enjoying the thrill of the race. Toss a quid on Adaay Dancing and let's hope she dances her way past the post first, defying those stats with a splash in the mud at Catterick! Bet sensibly and best of luck!
