Diplomatic expected to win 32redpoker.Com Handicap
Diplomatic looks to be in the most favourable position to finish first in 32redpoker.Com Handicap at Kempton racecourse on Thursday, March 29.
The Michael Squance-trained bay gelding is all set to compete against Saucy Buck, Karate, Merito, Having A Ball, Monsieur Broughton, The Which Doctor, Sergeant Troy, The Bay Bandit, Kucharova, Teen Ager and Gambatte.
The Calls 6 contest of 1m Standard distance has £1,617 of prize money. Diplomatic will break from Trap 1 when the action starts at 8:55 (GMT).
The seven-year-old talented horse excellently notched up top spot in the 32red Casino Handicap at Kempton track on January 22, 2012. The maverick runner moved forward to stand first again in £32 Free At 32red.Com Handicap at the same venue on February 16.
These two consecutive victories perked up the momentum and confidence levels of the young sprinter to a great extent along with establishing him as a favourite prospect in the eyes of the bookmakers.
The talented gelding accomplished a runner-up rank elegantly in his last outing on March 20. Being a 13/8 favourite runner, he delivered an outstanding performance in the Kempton Park (Supported By Betfair) Handicap.
Overall, Diplomatic has won 3 out of his total 14 starts to date, earning £5,626 as prize money. He is likely to run today with a high-level winning momentum and add one more glaring triumph to his portfolio.
However, some of his rivals like Having A Ball and The Bay Bandit have immense potential to trigger upsets in the race.
Having A Ball excellently grabbed top position in £32 Free At 32red.Com Handicap on February 23, 2012. The Jonathan Portman-trained bay gelding was 4/1 favourite for that outing. He moved forward to finish 9th in his last start on March 7.
On the other hand, The Bay Bandit marvellous clinched fifth position in a tough contest on March 8, 2012. The trainee of John Butler bagged his maiden triumph in the last start on March 16.
Thus, there is supposed to be a rip roaring competition at Kempton today. Diplomatic will have to defeat his competitors diplomatically in a bid to make his way towards victory. Good luck to him.
