Duke Of Clarence looking strong for Free Betdaq Cheltenham Preview Here Tonight Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Kempton
The spectators at Kempton are likely to witness a thumping performance by Duke Of Clarence in the Class 5 Free Betdaq Cheltenham Preview Here Tonight Median Auction Maiden Stakes on Wednesday, March 07, 2012.
As per the schedule, the 1m2f event is due to get underway at 17:30 (GMT). Nine rampant contestants will pursue a cash prize of £2,264.
The runners competing in the meeting are: Duke Of Clarence, Distant Love, Optimism, Findeln, Let´s Confer, The Yank, Brandy Snapping, Corn Maiden and Linton Hill.
Although there are many strong contenders in the line-up, the real contest will be between Duke Of Clarence and Distant Love. The two contestants are hungry for success and will put in an all out effort to produce a good result today.
Duke Of Clarence finished second in both of his previous races. In his latest outing, the three-year-old was defeated by Bint Alzain in the Stay At The Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Median Auction Maiden Stakes last month.
However, that does not take anything thing away from him. Today’s event is a good opportunity for him to break the shackles.
Likewise, Distant Love is h**l-bent to do something decent today. The three-year-old made her debut in July last year, when she ended up seventh in the E B F Medicean New Ham Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood.
The filly is returning to the course after a long break and thus, she will be fresh and full of energy. The bookmakers are also expecting her to resume her journey with a bang.
Another contender with fair chances is Optimism. The rest of the lot does not know much about her, as the filly is making her debut today. The three-year-old might come up with an upset, although it will be an uphill task for her.
Prediction
According to our calculations, it will be a hard battle between Duke Of Clarence and Distant Love. Both novices are desperate to seal their first win, but our vote goes to Duke Of Clarence.
Richard Hannon’s trainee is more experienced than his major opponent. Moreover, he has run on Kempton’s track once in his career. No matters who grabs the top slot, it will be a rip-roaring event.
