Dubai Hills expected to win Betfred Bonus King Bingo Handicap
The Bryan Smart-trained bay gelding, Dubai Hills, is expected to carry the day at Newcastle where he will run in the Betfred Bonus King Bingo Handicap on Saturday, June 30. The Class 2 contest over 7 furlongs will commence at 3:55 (GMT).
For the prize cheque worth £12,450, the talented son of Dubai Destination out of Hill Welcome will compete against 10 rivals today.
Dubai Hills is awash with confidence following his outstanding victory in the H Jarvis 134th Anniversary Handicap that was run on 7-furlong soft track of Redcar on June 23, 2012. It was the last outing of his career.
Prior to this, the Mrs F. Denniff-owned veteran horse had gained 4th position against 18 competitors in Racing Plus £1.20 On Saturday Stakes (Handicap) over 7 furlongs at York on June 15. This was also an impressive performance.
The maverick sprinter grabbed a third on May 26. These three outstanding performances depict that Dubai Hills possesses potential to thrive in any big event. Overall, he has won 6 of his total 27 starts so far.
In the betting market, the gelding is ranked third with Paddy Power while the Racing Post has granted him the highest rate of 106.
This suggests that Dubai Hills will enjoy great time at Newcastle while running under Tom Eaves who rode him to triumph in the last going.
Fieldgunner Kirkup also poses to be a strong candidate for success. The David Barron-trained bay gelding marvellously finished first in the Lighthouse Project Handicap on June 9, 2012. That Class 5 race took place on 7-furlong soft track of Newcastle, the same place where he is going to fight today.
This augurs well for the horse as his familiarity with the venue will surely lend a great hand to him in the Betfred Bonus King Bingo Handicap. As a whole, the son of Acclamation out of Fire Finch has won 2 of his total 15 starts so far.
Thus, the spectators at Newcastle will enjoy a thrilling and rip-roaring action today. Dubai Hills is likely to turn the tables emphatically. Good luck to all the runners.
