Gamilati looks strong for Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares)
The Mahmood Al Zarooni trained bay filly, Gamilati, looks to be a strong candidate for the Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) that is going to take place at Goodwood racecourse on Friday, August 3. The high-stakes Class 1 contest is scheduled to start at 4:50 (GMT).
On the good track of 7 furlongs, the three-year-old young and enthusiastic runner will face 14 strong rivals. On winning, she will walk away with the prize cheque worth £31,191.
The fantastic filly started her 6-race career on May 27, 2011, finishing as the runner-up in the Chemtest British Stallion Studs E B F Maiden Fillies’ Stakes. She was the 7-2 favourite for that race.
The talented daughter of Bernardini out of Illustrious Miss moved ahead to stand second again in the E B F Araafa Maiden Fillies’ Stakes on June 24.
The Godolphin owned sprinter managed to break her maiden in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cherry Hinton Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies) that took place at Newmarket on July 8.
Gamilati elegantly grabbed a grand victory in UAE 1000 Guineas Trial Presented By Longines (Fillies) (Conditions Race) (Tapeta) at Meydan on January 6, 2012. The Darley bred energetic filly again won a race at the same venue on February 3.
Thus, Gamilati will have up to 85 percent chances to thrive in the coming contest. However, she will have to face a lot of resistance from Russian Rave who marvellously accomplished two tremendous triumphs during June 2012.
The Jonathan Portman trained chestnut mare won the Leicester Mercury Fillies’ Handicap on June 4 and went on to finish first in the Peter Sewell Fillies’ Handicap on June 22----she was the 11-4 favourite for the second event.
The daughter of Danehill Dancer out of Russian Ruby stepped ahead to finish 3rd in the Bedford Lodge Supporting The Animal Health Trust E B F Fillies’ Handicap at Newmarket on June 30 followed by a runner-up rank at Newbury.
In this situation, it is expected that Russian Rave and Gamilati will fight neck-to-neck at Goodwood. Let us see who of the two carries the day. Good luck to the both.
