King’s Warrior expected to win Investec Zebra Handicap
King’s Warrior has a solid chance of winning the Investec Zebra Handicap at Epsom in England on Saturday, June 2, 2012.
The going will be good in the 1 mile, 4 furlong and 10 yard event, which is scheduled to start at 16:50 GMT. A total of 23 runners will be seen in action and their names are as follows: Fiery Lad, Spanish Duke, Hurricane Higgins, King’s Warrior, Rock
A Doodle Doo, Oceanway, Licence To Till, Lyssio, Charles Camoin, A Boy Named Suzi, Ramona Chase, Toughness Danon, Seaside Sizzler, Ittirad, Jehanbux, Communicator, Layline, Incendo, Crassula, Quiz Mistress, Mezzanisi, The Bells O Peover and O Ma Lad.
Although the competition is expected to be tough in the race, King’s Warrior is carrying very good momentum at the moment and will be one of the top contenders for victory. He does not have much experience, but has improved a lot in recent times.
The five-year-old gelding has taken part in eight events until now, winning one of them. In addition to that, he has finished runner up on four occasions whereas took the third spot once. This means that he has only dropped out of the top three on
a couple of times.
In his most recent outing, King’s Warrior really performed well, but failed to finish on top of the table in the end. He was rated as the joint favourite to win and was up against some very good runners. However, he showed some class and took the second
place comfortably.
The Peter Chapple-Hyam’s trainee is carrying a decent momentum at the moment and will definitely cause a few problems for his opponents in the race at Epsom. He will be partnered by William Buick, who will be fully confident because of his decent performances
in recent times. However, he lacks consistency due to which his strike rate is on the lower side.
On the other hand, Fiery Lad will not make life easy for his rivals, as he has got plenty of experience in the sport. He has participated in 32 events until now, winning seven of them and finishing runner up on four occasions. Moreover, he has also
secured the third spot on the same number times, which shows that he is fully capable of giving a hard time to King’s Warrior.
