Star Of Aragon favourite for Ladies Day 26th June Handicap
Star Of Aragon is likely to prevail in the Ladies Day 26th June Handicap at Ballinrobe in Ireland on Monday, May 28, 2012. The winner of the race will walk away with a cash prize of €5,520 in the end.
The going will be good in the 1 mile 6 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 18:00 GMT, and a total of 16 runners will be taking part in it. Their names are as follows: Star Of Aragon, Regal Tramp, Devils Bit, Experimentalist, Binocular, Gort Na
Mona, Buille Cliste, Newmarket Story, Jigalo, Lady´s Dance, Badger Or Bust, Foildearg, Sounds Of Thunder, Brian The Warrior, All About Timing and First Friday.
Although Star Of Aragon does not have a very good strike rate, the bookmakers have awarded him with pretty decent odds. The reason for that is his recent form. He has been delivering some excellent results over the past couple of events, thus it seems quite
hard to stop him from winning today.
The six-year-old gelding has participated in 18 races until now, winning four of them. In addition to that, he has also secured the runner up spot once, which shows that he has the ability to fight at the front consistently.
The J. A. Nash’s trainee will be chasing a hat-trick of victories today, as he has earned a couple of consecutive wins. He was not rated favourite in both those appearances, but still stunned one and all in them.
Star Of Aragon will be partnered by P. J. Smullen, who does not have a lot of experience at this level. He has won a few races, but is not known to be a consistent runner. This will definitely discourage the punters to risk money on him today.
On the other hand, Sounds Of Thunder might also manage to make an impression in the race, as she has got a lot of experience. She has appeared in 34 races, winning four of them and finishing runner up on a couple of times. Moreover, she has also ended up
third once.
However, the five-year-old mare does not seem to have the momentum to match Star Of Aragon, who has got an excellent stamina.
