Cosimo De Medici tipped to win Ascot Stakes
Cosimo De Medici has a solid chance of winning the Ascot Stakes (Handicap) at Ascot in England on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. The winner of the class-2 event will be awarded a cash prize of £34,238.
The going will be good to soft in the 2 mile 4 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 17:00 GMT. A total of 20 runners will be seen in action and their names are as follows: Simenon, Al Khawaneej, Ashbrittle, Elyaadi, Cosimo De Medici, Veiled, Dark
Ranger, Monterey, Fiulin, Western Pearl, Danvilla, Sentry Duty, Scots Gaelic, Twin Soul, Becausewecan, Spice Fair, Nafaath, Private Story, Tuscan Gold and Call It On.
There are some extremely good runners lined up for action in the race, the conditions are likely to work in favour of Cosimo De Medici. He has got some useful experience and has been delivering some decent results over the past few months. This will definitely
help him attract a lot of bets in his favour today.
The five-year-old gelding has participated in 21 events until now, winning five of them. In addition to that, he has also secured the runner up spot on four occasions, which proves that he is quite capable of fighting at the front.
However, the Hughie Morrison’s trainee was unable to make a solid impression in his most recent run, as he finished fourth in it. The conditions were not ideal for him, thus he struggled to match the pace of the leaders.
However, things will be entirely different today and Cosimo De Medici has a very good chance of bouncing back. He will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Darryll Holland, who has won numerous races at this level. However, his strike rate is on the lower side,
which is not a positive sign.
On the other hand, the bookies might opt to risk the maximum number of bets in favour of Al Khawaneej, who is in fabulous form right now. He has entered seven events, winning three of them.
The most impressive thing is that the four-year-old colt has brought up all his victories recently, which shows the kind of momentum he is carrying right now. Despite that, he will be tested because of the track conditions at Ascot.
