Compton Target aiming the Win Big With Betdaq Multiples Handicap at Kempton
The Class 6 Win Big With Betdaq Multiples Handicap will be held at Kempton over a mile on Wednesday, 9th May. The race has attracted fourteen runners and has the purse set at £1,617.
Among the contenders for the race today, the recently placed entry at Kempton is Compton Target, Strategic Prince’s three-year-old bay gelding out of mare, Tarakana.
He has raced only twice through the new season and both the races were at Kempton. He broke into the season on 21st March in the Back Or Lay At Betdaq.Com Handicap over seven furlongs. The race was won by Manomine who was riding with Brett Doyle
while qualifying as the runner up was Traveller’s Tales.
Ending third behind the winner was Diamond Marks. Compton Target could only manage the fifth position on the field of ten racing.
His second attempt of the season was in the Betdaq Mobile Apps Handicap on 18th April over six furlongs. The race was taken away by the 11/4 favourite of the race, Larwood, who was ridden by Dane O’Neill.
The winner led the runner up, Auntie Mabel, by four and a half length.
Improving, and notching up the ranking in the season’s second try at the same race course had Compton Target settled third with Nicole Nordblad onboard.
The last time that the three-year-old won at Kempton was in the Betdaq Mobile Apps Handicap on 24th August, 2011 over six furlongs. The victory did not come easy as Compton Target snatched it away from the 11/8 favourite of the race, Backtrade,
by ¾ of a length.
The winner was riding with James Doyle.
Coming at terms with the third position was Miserere Mei.
This was Compton Target’s first race at Kempton and it was also the only victory there as ever since then he has failed to claim a race at Kempton.
However today he has dimensions working in his favour for dominating the race. He is coming fresh out of experience at Kempton and has rankings higher than the rest on the line-up. It is high time that Compton Target devotes his energies for leaving an impact
through the race today.
