Blue Tiger, one with good prospects in Deloitte/British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Newcastle
Deloitte/British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes has attracted a line-up of 13 runners at Newcastle on Monday, September 10, 2012. No participant has a compelling profile, but the bettors have to make a choice.
According to the recent stats, Blue Tiger looks to be the most solid option. He has blown out a few times, and was not at his best on the previous occasion. The audience at Lingfield saw him finishing fourth behind Palmette in the Lingfieldpark.co.uk Maiden Stakes (Turf) last month.
His poor show came after a couple of thrilling efforts. The 3-year-old did not look impressive on his seasonal debut, but quickly brought things under control.
In the Betfred Mobile Casino Maiden Stakes at Windsor, Saeed Bin Suroor’s trainee made a wonderful effort to ensure the runner-up spot. In the hands of Mickael Barzalona, the 16-1 chance made an awkward start, and was well in the rear early on.
But not losing his determination, the dashing runner made smooth progress on outer over 3f out. An excellent act helped him lead well before the final furlong. He was travelling quite nicely, but was outpaced in the last 100 yards. He stumbled and unseated the rider after the finishing line.
Owned by Godolphin, the Darley-bred made another fascinating trip at the end of last month. In the Stradey Park Hotel Maiden Stakes at Ffos Las, he was second to Silken Express.
He will start showing his magic at 14:30 GMT. The class 5 meeting will be held over five furlongs, and it carries a cash prize worth £3,558.
Vanity's Girl made a decent start to her career, when finished second at Doncaster in June. John Quinn’s trainee, however, struggled last time, ending up sixth in the Your Favourite Pool Bets At totepool.com Maiden Stakes at Catterick. The surface is a lot harder here, thus some improvement is expected. Similarly, Bang Tidy is open to improvement after just four runs.
A surprise outcome cannot be discarded, but Blue Tiger looks quite solid. A repeat of the form shown when second at Ffos Las and Windsor would make him the ultimate champion today. Good luck to all the horses.
