Gaul Wood looking strong to claim E B F Redstone Classified Stakes
Gaul Wood will be looking forward to a strong run in the E B F Redstone Classified Stakes at Ascot in England on Friday, October 5, 2012. He is in pretty decent form right now and will be looking to make the most of the confidence he has gained with his
solid performances in recent times.
The going has been described as good to soft in the 1 mile race, which is scheduled to kick off at 14:55 GMT. A total of 10 stallions will be battling in the class-3 event in order to win a cash prize of £9,338. They will be hoping that the weather remains
dry before the start of action today.
Looking at the performances of all the runners, it appears that the competition will be really a close one. There are quite a few contenders for a victory, but only one of them will finish at the top of the table in the end.
There is a solid chance for Captain Cat to make an impression at Ascot today, despite the fact that he does not have a lot of experience. He has been given pretty decent odds and will be looking to the meet the expectations of the bookies.
However, there will be immense pressure on the three-year-old gelding, as he does not have a lot of exposure at this level. He made his debut in 2011 and was unable to cause many problems for his opponents back then, finishing fifth in his first ever outing.
The Roger Charlton’s trainee did not appear in any more races during that year and he made a comeback in 2012. The return proved to be a very good one for him, as he finished in third place and followed that up with his maiden victory.
Despite that, it will not be an easy task for the young runner to handle pressure from Gaul Wood, who will definitely attract a lot of bets from the punters today. He has been given a general starting price of 7 to 2 and will be hoping to make his team proud.
There has been only one occasion where the Tom Dascombe’s trainee failed to finish in the top three. He has enjoyed some very good races with jockey, Richard Kingscote, who will once again be partnering him today.
