Fast Or Free holding solid claims in Ibiza Handicap, Troopingthecolour tipped to win Faro Handicap at Newmarket
With most of the contestants having room to improve, it looks an ideal opportunity for Fast Or Free to prove his mettle in the Fly London Southend To Ibiza Handicap, taking place at Newmarket on Saturday, June 9th.
The class 3 meeting will be kicked off at 14:40 (GMT).
Fast Or Free is facing a lot of big guns and among his opponents are: Go Dutch, Dixie´s Dream, Deia Sunrise, Takeitfromalady, Legendary, Nelson´s Bay, Apostle, Chil The Kite, Ocean Tempest, Asifa, Zakreet, Savanna Days, Campanology,
Minstrels Gallery and Right Divine. The victor will walk away with a hefty cash prize of £9,704.
Fast Or Free was pretty impressive on his return last month. The spectators at Kempton saw him sealing the top rank by ½ a length in the Betfair Supporting Grassroots Racing Maiden Stakes (Div I).
William Haggas’ trainee failed to do anything special in his sole outing at Newmarket last year. However, the conditions are a lot different this time and Fast Or Free seems to have an obvious chance of seizing the first place
today.
Out of others, Go Dutch is the most fascinating candidate. In similar conditions at Brighton last year, the 3-year-old grabbed the winning prize quite easily. Although he could not show an impressive effort on his seasonal debut
at Doncaster, he can be a threat to Fast Or Free.
Fly London Southend To Faro Handicap is another class 3 contest at Newmarket today. According to the plan, the 1-mile 2-furlong event will be started at 15:30 (GMT).
Competing for a purse worth £9,704 are: Trade Commissioner, Troopingthecolour, Little Rocky, Reachforthebucks, Romeo Montague, Camberley Two, Sandbanks Sizzler, Sandusky, Shavansky, John Louis and Silver Grey.
Troopingthecolour makes plenty of each-way appeal and would like soft surface at Newmarket. The 6-year-old remained unlucky in his two outings this season, narrowly missing the gold medal on both occasions. So, needs just a
slice of luck to trouble the judge today.
Sandusky and Trade Commissioner are indeed two strong runners, but according to our calculations, Troopingthecolour has the best chance of bagging the winning cheque. We wish the best of luck to everyone.
