Al Waab looking forward for a big victory at Newmarket
Among Al Waab’s widespread fans, many strongly believe that the Newmarket racecourse has always been his cup of tea. This notion is based on the fact that the legendry trainer Sir Henry Cecil’s chestnut colt won each of the first two races of his career at this venue. With two triumphs and one runner-up position, the novice runner has summed up a lot of momentum that will help him bring home a grand victory today.
As the two-year-old young colt prepares to cope with the challenge of Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) in his third Newmarket trip, majority of the sport experts and the punters opine that he will be able to show off his brilliance convincingly over the 1-mile course that has good surface.
Al Waab is supposed to wrest the ace title from the strong jaws of eight mighty competitors. The entire situation is ideal for the colt to accomplish what he really deserves now.
The brilliant Irish runner has done justice with what Cecil teaches him. Having the blood of Danehill Dancer (Sire) and Aunt Julia (Dam) in his veins, he runs every race with cent percent perfection and dedication.
The Mubarak Al Naemi owned colt debuted on July 21 with a marvellous victory in the Bet At bluesquare.com Maiden Stakes. He beautifully beat the hot favourite candidate, Glory City, to make a big mark at Newmarket.
He moved ahead to win Liberty Mutual Insurance Conditions Stakes over the same track on August 16. Tom Queally had been on his back both of the times. The same rider is going to drive him today.
Al Waab fought well and finished second in his last outing that was the Betfred "Still Treble Odds On Lucky 15's" Stakes (Registered As The Ascendant Stakes) (Listed Race), held at Haydock.
Thus, he is awash with form now. However, in the playfield, he will have to be wary of some of his rivals like Fantastic Moon, One Word More and Steeler as each of the trio has enough potential to make an upset anytime.
So, let us get ready to enjoy the heated action. Good luck to Al Waab.
