Diala, an interesting candidate in Ritz Club Fillies´ Handicap
Ajjaadd set to cause an upset in Ascot Festival of Food And Wine Handicap
Get ready for a lot of nail-biting moments, as Royal Ascot is set to stage some exciting events this weekend. Ritz Club Fillies´ Handicap has attracted a star-studded line-up of 17 runners, who will pursue a handsome cash prize worth £8,410. The officials
are due to star this class 3 meeting at 15:10 GMT.
Without a doubt, there are many to consider, but Diala remains the most interesting option, despite a few unlucky rides lately. Since finishing down the field in the Qipco 1000 Guineas Stakes, the 3-year-old had some torrid luck.
There are no doubts over her marvellous racing skills, and it is just a matter of time when she regains her momentum. William Haggas’ trainee made a huge impact last season, as she demonstrated a couple of very fine acts at Newmarket.
She likes good surface, which is available at Ascot today. Moreover, none of her rivals is winning at regular basis. So, it is a massive chance for the Abdulla Al Khalifa-owned filly to register her first win of the season.
Ascot Festival of Food And Wine Handicap will be another thrilling contest at Ascot. It is also a class 3 meeting, scheduled to be started at 16:50 GMT. A total number of 18 runners have entered the race, which holds a cash prize of £8,410.
There are a few in-form runners in the pack. Intransigent is making his Ascot debut after an easy win at Kempton. Similarly, Lady Gibraltar is performing brilliantly this season. Trained by Alan Jarvis, the 3-year-old sealed a couple of outstanding wins
ahead of finishing third at Epsom last month.
There is a lot to like about the aforementioned pair, but one should not ignore Ajjaadd, who has yet to run a bad race here. The Ted Powell-trained did well last year, but has not shown anything special so far this season.
After a couple of awful defeats, the 6-year-old finally got a few things right last week, when he performed very well from a bad draw at Sandown. His effort was solid enough to believe that he could be the answer today. Good luck to all the participants.
