Fluctuate, the most interesting candidate in Newmarketracecourses.co.uk Handicap at Newmarket
John Gosden’s 3-year-old rampant colt, Fluctuate, will be popular in the betting market at Newmarket, despite the fact that he did not run well last time. An excellent finish did not help him get the better of his rivals, as he was in no position to do something
special after an early mess in the Delancey Handicap at Royal Ascot.
There are some dangerous runners in the line-up, but Fluctuate seems to be the safest option in the class 2 Newmarketracecourses.co.uk Handicap, taking place at Newmarket on Thursday, August 16th. The 1m2f event is due to get underway at 17:25
GMT. The ultimate champion will leave the park with a prize of £10,221.
Fluctuate opened his account at Wolverhampton at the end of April. In the 32Red.com Median Auction Maiden Stakes, he made virtually all and despite being shaken up a furlong before the wire, the 1-8 favourite kept running well to grab an easy victory. No
one could make an impression on him and as a result, Fluctuate ensured the top rank by half a dozen lengths.
Luck did not smile on him last time, as fell fifth by a neck’s distance. Confidence should not be an issue for him, because he was not disgraced. So, one can easily expect him to trouble the rest of the pack today.
Out of others, Suegioo looks to be the strongest one. The 3-year-old did nothing wrong on his previous three outings, but failed to deliver a winning performance. Marco Botti’s trainee knows Newmarket’s track very well, and his experience should not be ignored.
Angel Gabrial looked quite solid on his penultimate trip. However, Ian Williams’ trainee could not perpetuate his good work, and finished fourth last time out. It is going to be his very first appearance at this venue, and there will be some pressure on
him.
According to our calculations, Fluctuate and Suegioo are two major players. A lot of punters will try their luck with Fluctuate, but we recommend Suegioo, who knows how to handle this surface. We wish the best of luck to all the runners.
