Sonko expected to win Casino At Bet365.Com Handicap
The Tim Pitt-trained bay filly, Sonko, will capitalise on the momentum produced by her last five excellent performances in a bid to notch up top spot in the Casino At Bet365.Com Handicap that is going to take place at Haydock racecourse on Saturday, July
7.
In the Class 4 contest over 5 furlongs, the three-year-old veteran runner will face eight competitors. If wins, she will take home £5,175. For the first time in her 16-race career, the Dr Marwan Koukash-owned fantastic filly is going to test her racing skills
on Heavy track.
From December 2011 to June 2012, the brilliant daughter of Red Clubs out of Baltic Belle made some splendid marks that spiked up her confidence level greatly.
The experienced sprinter marvellously won the Bet At Bluesq.Com Claiming Stakes over 5 furlongs at Kempton track on December 8, trigging a big upset by beating the hot favourite runner Mr Knightley.

Being a 2-1 favourite, the Dr Marwan Koukash-owned filly elegantly claimed first position in the Holtye Handicap over 5 furlongs at Lingfield on January 7, 2012. She stepped ahead to get two consecutive runner-up positions during May-June.
Overall, the Irish racer has 4 conquests to her name. In the lights of these stats, Sonko seems to be the strongest candidate for today’s marathon. However, her experiment to run under a new jockey, Jamie Spencer, can prove to be fatal for her.
In addition, the filly will have to face a lot of resistance from Demora who has impressed the horseracing fans in her just 6-race career. The Michael Appleby-trained bay filly finished as a runner-up in the World Horse Welfare Celebrates 85 Years Maiden
Stakes over 5 furlongs at Southwell on May 9.
The Dallas Racing-owned novice runner managed to broke her maiden in the Jockey Club Catering At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap over 5 furlongs at Nottingham on June 3. She again finished second in her last start on June 6.
Thus, there will be a stern duel between Demora and Sonko. Let us see who of the duo carries the day.
