High Jinx expected to fly to victory in Fly London Southend To Dublin Levy Board Handicap at Newmarket
Despite a 13lb rise, Mulaqen deserves plenty of respect following his tremendous success at York last month. The four-year-old ran so well that he has to be in the shortlist for Fly London Southend To Dublin Levy Board Handicap, taking place at Newmarket on Saturday, June 09, 2012.
On the other hand, High Jinx’s class is probably the hardest thing to overlook today. Despite the fact that James Fanshawe’s trainee was unlucky in his last outing, one should not take him lightly in the 1m4f event, which will start at 16:00 (GMT).
Besides the aforementioned pair, the contestants in the class-2 meeting are: Spifer, Vasily, Anatolian, Ithoughtitwasover, Address Unknown, High Office, Late Telegraph, Classic Vintage, Western Pearl, Classic Punch, Qushchi, Ermyn Lodge, Swingkeel and Lyssio. A hefty cash prize of £32,345 is reserved for the triumphant runner.
High Jinx registered his only success at Doncaster last year, when sealed the top rank by five lengths in the totepool quick pick Maiden Stakes. The maverick runner has showed his class at Newmarket earlier in his career.
Burts Chips Made In Devon Handicap saw him missing the runner-up place by a short head’s distance here last year. On his seasonal comeback in April, High Jinx could not maintain the standards and finished fourth in the robinsonsofbawtry.com Handicap at Doncaster.
Although luck is not on High Jinx’s side these days, he seems to have an obvious chance of bagging the winning prize today.
Mulaqen is h**l-bent to carry forward his good work after a fine show at York last month. In the Constant Security Stakes (Handicap), he stunned the rivals and ensured the first place by two and a quarter lengths.
However, things are not going to be that easy today, as the surface is a bit softer than York. Vasily is also a fresh striker, but a change in the grade would put him under immense pressure.
According to our calculations, it will be a tug of war between High Jinx and Mulaqen. A change in the grade and conditions is likely to work against Mulaqen’s favour, thus High Jinx can be declared favourite. Good luck to all runners.
