Goldoni, the most attractive bet in Minstrell Recruitment Stand Cup at Chester
Area Fifty One has the required speed to capitalise in the Minstrell Recruitment Stand Cup, a tactical affair, taking place at Chester on Saturday, September 15, 2012. But Goldoni has the best form, and his latest pair of well-deserved runner-up positions
means he is the most attractive bet in today’s Listed race.
Goldoni suffered a couple of terrible defeats in May-June. After finishing sixth at Lingfield, the 3-year-old could not turn things around, and secured the same spot at Royal Ascot. Despite two consecutive defeats, Andrew Balding’s charge did not lose confidence,
and put his campaign on the right track in July.
He found only the 11-8 favourite, Sparkling Portrait, too strong in the Glasgow Stakes (Listed Race) at Hamilton. Owned by Mick and Janice Mariscotti, the gelding was beaten by another classy 3-year-old last time.
The audience at Windsor saw him finishing second to Cameron Highland in the Totepool August Stakes (Listed Race). Both his performances were solid enough to believe that he can do the trick this time. Despite two unlucky defeats, no one can take anything
away from him.
Bred by Marston Stud, the son of Dylan Thomas has only half a dozen runners to beat today. On good to soft, the participants will be in pursuit of a cash prize worth £19,536. As per the schedule, the class 1 meeting will be started at 14:40 GMT.
Modun is currently the centre of attention following two decent efforts at the graded level. He ended up third in the Group 3 Betfred "The Bonus King" Geoffrey Freer Stakes, before sharing the podium in the Group 3 Betfred Mobile Sports September Stakes
at Kempton.
The bookmakers are hoping for an improved act in this class. However, the unlucky way he faced defeat last twice, the bettors should only expect him to be among top-3. Area Fifty One is respected on Ebor fifth, but needs to be better than last time.
Modun will get the highest starting price following a downgrading. But Goldoni looks in slightly better position to steal the show today. We wish the best of luck to every horse.
