Flying Applause expected to win Giles Handicap
Flying Applause is all ready to add another epic victory to his portfolio by finishing first in the G.D. Giles Handicap, a high-stakes Class 4 contest that will go down at Leicester racecourse on Monday, May 21. The race is scheduled to start at 6:20 (GMT).
On the good to soft track of 1 mile, 1 furlong and 218 yards, the Roy Bowring-trained bay gelding will face 8 worthy rivals such as Tilsworth Glenboy, Audacious, Mcbirney, Glass Mountain, Red Lover, Artisan, King Zeal and Spey Song. A prize cheque worth
£4,528 is waiting for the supposed winner.
Flying Applause possesses a terrific track record. The seven-year-old veteran sprinter has been enjoying great form since the dawn of 2012.
After winning a big race on February 9, the dashing horse finished 7th against 11 contestants on February 20. The brilliant runner moved ahead to bag a couple of consecutive triumphs in the month of April.
The K. Nicholls-owned gelding again finished 7th in his second last start on May 2. He excellently clinched top spot in the subsequent outing on May 8.
Overall, the son of Royal Applause out of Mrs Gray has won 11 of his total 60 starts so far. He is expected to unleash a big run today, having as high as 95 percent chances to finish first.
However, Tilsworth Glenboy can trigger an upset as the J. R. Jenkins-trained bay gelding is on a hat-trick at the moment. The gifted horse nicely finished first in each of his last two outings on May 1 and 11. Earlier, he had grabbed a 3rd position
in two consecutive races during April. He is carrying immense winning momentum that will surely help him make a big impact.
Artisan is also likely to do well in the Handicap. Brian Ellison’s gelding broke his maiden in his second last start on February 21, 2012. He went on to finish 5th in the very next outing while being a 2-1 favourite.
In this situation, Flying Applause will have to face reasonable resistance. However, he will be able to thrive convincingly. Good luck to all the runners.
