Heavy Metal expected to win TNT July Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings)
Straight from his one decent performance during the Royal Ascot event of the last month, the Mark Johnston-trained bay colt, Heavy Metal, is going to unleash a winning run in the TNT July Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) that will be held at Newmarket
racecourse on Thursday, July 12.
On the good to soft track, the brilliant son of Exceed And Excel out of Rock Opera will run against 8 worthy competitors while pursuing the prize cheque worth £34,026.
The two-year-old novice runner performed well in the Coventry Stakes (Group 2) of June 19 at Ascot and finished 11th against 21 contestants. That was an average performance.
Prior to this, the Darley-bred momentous colt had gained a runner-up rank in the Investec Woodcote Stakes (Listed Race) over 6 furlongs at Epsom on June 2.
During the month of May, the skilled sprinter nicely bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs under Mirco Demuro. He started his career at Doncaster on March 31, 2012.
With just five starts, the Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum-owned colt has established himself as a hot favourite candidate in the betting market.
Thus, today’s event is going to be a heavy deal for Heavy Metal. If he manages to capitalise well on his form, he will be able to thrive emphatically.
However, Birdman will demonstrate a lot of resilience against Heavy Metal. The David Simcock-trained bay colt is on the verge of a hat-trick. The novice runner nicely won a race each at Brighton and Chepstow during the first half of the last month.
The son of Danehill Dancer out of Gilded Vanity debuted with a third on May 18, 2012. In this situation, the young sprinter can prove to be fairly fatal for Heavy Metal.
For the ace title of the TNT July Stakes, each one of these two worthy runners will fight to his utmost. This neck-to-neck battle will provide the spectators an exciting and entertaining event to enjoy. The contest will draw a big bankroll.
Let us move to Newmarket to watch the live action. Good luck to the entire line-up of the race.
