Al Freej set to shine at Folkestone
Al Freej is geared up to exhibit a big run in Starsportsbet.Co.Uk Handicap which will take place at Folkestone racecourse on Thursday, April 12.
The Roger Varian-trained bay filly looks to be quite confident to compete against 13 rivals including Light Burst, School Fees, Welease Bwian, Diamond Marks, Foot Tapper, Mayo Lad, Dishy Guru, Star Kingdom, Amis Reunis and Daraa.
The high-stakes Class 5 contest over a distance of 6 furlongs is scheduled to start at 2:45 (GMT). For the prize cheque of £3,235, Al Freej will unleash immense firepower in a bid to clinch top spot.
Since making her debut on November 25, 2011, the three-year-old novice runner has been delivering impressive performances.
After earning a runner-up rank each in the first two races of her career, Saif Ali’s favourite filly moved forward to break her maiden in Ringside Conference Suite Maiden Stakes on February 9, 2012. She was 1-6 favourite for that event.
The brilliant sprinter performed nicely and grabbed 4th spot against 8 runners in her last outing on February 20. Thus, she has four races to her name including one excellent triumph.
Al Freej will surely be able to make a big impact in today’s marathon provided she manages to read the condition of the track where she is going to run for the very first time. Her chances to thrive are as high as 90 percent.
Out of the hot favourite filly’s competitors, Dressed In Lace and Welease Bwian are likely to perform well in the race.
Dressed In Lace excellently grabbed two consecutive runner-up ranks each on October 17, 2011 and January 4, 2012. Jo Crowley’s bay filly moved forward to finish 7th in her very next outing on January 18. She excellently clinched top spot in her
last start on March 20.
Welease Bwian accomplished the maiden victory of his career on January 20, 2012. The Stuart Williams-trained bay gelding went on to finish second in his last start on January 27. He is carrying immense confidence at the moment.
In this situation, there is likely to go down a fierce battle at Folkestone. Let us see how Al Freej manages to justify her favourite position.
