Tropical Song to set standards in Betdaq Mobile Apps Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Kempton
A bunch of newcomers will look to stop Tropical Song from getting off the mark at the fourth attempt. However, it looks an impossible task for the debutants, as John Gosden’s charge has recently set a useful standard for his opponents to aim at.
After an unlucky debut at Newmarket, the 2-year-old quickly brought things under control, and displayed a couple of fine shows at Sandown last month. In the Bet At coral.co.uk Irish Stallion Farms E B F Maiden Stakes, the novice missed the crown only by
half a length.
He held up in seventh at the start, but progressed very well a couple of furlongs before the finishing line. He chased the winner inside the final furlong, and soon challenged him. Yet, he was not quick enough to make an impression on the ultimate champion.
His unlucky spell continued, as he was second to Kerbaaj on his previous trip. In the hands of Eddie Ahern, the Gosden-trained tracked the leading pair early on, and subsequently pumped up his speed to lead a furlong before the wire. He ran on inside the
final furlong, but lost his advantage in the final 50 yards. As a result, the triumphant runner took the game away from him just by ½ a length.
The market is going to be quite informative with regards to the newcomers, but Tropical Song is expected to use his experience to get the better of his rivals in the class 5 Betdaq Mobile Apps Median Auction Maiden Stakes, taking place at Kempton on Wednesday,
August 15th. The going is standard to slow for the 7-furlong meeting, which is due to begin at 18:35 GMT.
Caramel Sundae was not impressive on her debut last month. The Marco Botti-trained started slowly, but showed some improvement in the final stages. Since she is slightly more experienced than many of these, the punters can take her as the second best choice.
Red Catkin makes some appeal on paper, but needs to come up with something extra special in order to outsmart the experienced fellows. Similar is the case with Georgian Bay.
With Tropical Song in the line-up, the punters should not try their luck with any newcomer. Good luck to all the runners.
