Steely set to stand first in Apprentice Handicap
Steely is all set to seal top spot in the Davisbakerycaribbean.Com Apprentice Handicap that will be held at Windsor racecourse on Monday, June 18. The Class 5 contest will commence at 6:10 (GMT).
On the good to soft track of 1 mile, 3 furlongs and 135 yards, the Gary Moore-trained bay gelding will run under William Twiston-Davies who is going to drive him for the very first time.
The young and energetic horse will endeavour to complete his maiden hat-trick. He elegantly won each of his last two races.
On May 23, the maverick sprinter grabbed the title of Menzies Select Handicap at Lingfield while running against 7 rivals. He moved on to finish first in the Follow At The Races On Twitter Handicap on June 1. This race took place at Brighton.
These two epic conquests have spiked up the gelding’s confidence level to a great extent. Now, the son of Librettist out of No Comebacks is quite ready to take on 14 competitors such as If I Were A Boy, Lady Of Burgundy, Urban Space, Mons Calpe, Broughton
Sands, Wily Fox, Victorian Number, Shirataki, Karate, Royal Etiquette, Taroum, Gower Rules, Rulbin Realta and Dispol Diva.
Though Steely is strong enough on the card but Shirataki has potential to impede him in the Handicap. The Peter Hiatt-trained bay gelding has been at the peak of form since the dawn of 2012.
After grabbing a grand victory on January 12, the four-year-old experienced horse achieved a third and a runner-up rank in the two subsequent starts. He elegantly accomplished a triumph on March 7.
Following some further impressive performances, the son of Cape Cross out of Noodle Soup excellently finished first in his last outing on June 9. Thus, the talented runner is carrying a lot of winning momentum that will help him make a big impact in the
Handicap.
Among the other runners, Karate is likely to do well today. The Hans Adielsson-trained gelding clinched first position in his last outing on May 29. Earlier, he had gained a runner-up rank on April 30.
In this situation, there is going to be a neck-to-neck clash at Windsor. Let us see who manages to carry the day.
