Kingston Town Stakes 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Tough race to sort. Ceolwulf won nicely last start and may well go on with things in this. Eliyass is a promising stayer and will be afforded every hope from barrier 1. Zardozi was very average last start but her best would certainly give this a shake. GoldenPath has put together 2 wins in a row and looks nicely placed against this field. LandLegend will be an improver off the first up run.

Scratched.

5. Zeyrek (10)

Prefer others.

6. Eliyass (1)

Promising stayer who will get the run of the race from barrier 1. A lot to like about both wins this prep and should give this a shake.

7. Serpentine (6)

Can’t have.

8. Adelaide River (16)

Market watch here off a pass mark fresh. Best efforts would see it go close.

9. Athabascan (8)

Can’t have.

10. Trust In You (11)

Prefer others.

11. Ceolwulf (13)

Big win last start and can go right on with things here despite the wide draw. Should prove hard to beat with J-Mac sticking.

12. Golden Path (12)

Putting together a strong record and is ready for this stiffer test. Drawn poorly but goes in the mix here.

13. El Bodegon (14)

Can’t have.

14. Valiant King (2)

Prefer others.

15. Star Of India (15)

This looks too tough.

16. Land Legend (5)

Knocked up last start but should be an improver and the scalp of Cleveland last prep reads well. Can win.

17. Waltham (17)

Can’t have.

18. Zardozi (4)

She has to lift off the first up run but is highly capable. Maps well and her best would go close in this. Take on trust.
