Dubawi Island eager to earn second straight success
Since breaking his maiden on August 28, Dubawi Island has been out of action. During this interval, he went through some strenuous training sessions that built up his momentum further. Today, the James Tate trained bay gelding seems to be all ready to earn
second straight career win by beating eight mighty rivals in the high-stakes race of 32Red Casino Handicap (Div II) that will be held at Kempton racecourse.
The best thing is that the track surface, being standard, suits well to Dubawi Island as he has proved his class over such sort of fields. The distance of 1 mile is too ideal for the three-year-old novice horse to unleash his utmost racing stamina. Thus,
the entire situation goes to his favour.
Hopefully, the French runner will perform with high spirit under Neil Callan. To a great extent, it will be up to the new jockey how better he exploits the gelding’s talent.
Dubawi Island delivered an outstanding run in each of his last two starts. On August 8, he nicely finished as the runner up in Download Racing Plus App Maiden Stakes at the same venue.
The son of Dubawi out of Housa Dancer moved ahead to break his maiden with the title of Mirror Punters Club Maiden Stakes. That race was run at Southwell on August 28. The winner was the 2-1 favourite.
This triumph proved the extent of excellence the young sprinter enjoys. During the last four weeks, Dubawi Island had a lot of workout that will pay him off well in today’s marathon.
Thus, the Saif Ali owned gelding has enough firepower to show off at Kempton. The current situation suggests that he will be able to thrive convincingly as most of his opposition is slack.
Despite this, Dubawi Island will have to be wary of Snow Trooper whose 17-race career displays four triumphs. He last won a race in June. That was the St John Handicap, held at Windsor.
The Dean Ivory trained chestnut gelding can prove to be dangerous for his competitors, therefore, Dubawi Island needs to present an audacious posture in the race.
The event is going to be packed with thrill. Let us enjoy it.
