Aiken to emerge triumphant from the John Doyle Buckhounds Stakes on 12th May, 2012
Aiken, Dawn Twister, Sos Brillante, Tameen and Twin Soul will compete in the John Doyle Buckhounds Stakes, which will be hosted at Ascot on 12th May, 2012.
The five runners will compete for £18,714 over 1 mile and 4 furlongs on a surface that has been labelled heavy.
Among these five runners, Aiken looks like he could steal the show and be the last man standing. The talented runner will break out of post 2, and race with a winning shot of 11 to 10.
The son of Selkirk, out of mare Las Flores, has landed four victories out of his five career starts and will definitely try to add more to his record.
The John Gosden trained bay gelding finished seventh in his maiden race in June, 2011, but he never looked back from that defeat, and made up for it by winning all the races he competed after that loss.
The four-year-old colt raced as a favourite in his seasonal debut with a winning chance of 100-30, and emerged triumphant as he defeated Laura Mongan trained, First Avenue by a neck in the Investec Great Metropolitan Handicap at Epsom on 25th April,
2012.
Owned by George Strawbridge, Aiken will do his best to extend his winning streak today.
Dawn Twister is also of significant interest in this race, and he is the only one who can possibly challenge Aiken.
The brown horse is more experience than Aiken, as he has raced in fourteen starts and won three times.
The Lucy Wadham trained horse made a great comeback in his seasonal debut. Mounted by jockey, Luke Morris, he defeated, Troopingthecolour by 3 lengths in the Betfred Mobile Sports Conditions Stakes at Ripon on 28th April, 2012.
This was a great improvement for the son of Monsun, out of mare Dawn Side, who delivered a disappointing performance in the closing race of his previous season.
Among a line-up of fifteen runners, he finished ninth in the Prix Denisy at Saint-Cloud on 12th November, 2011.
The odds are stacking in Aiken‘s favour and is the speculated victor of this race, but Dawn Twister may deliver a surprising performance and come out of the race a winner.
