Zarakerjack poised for Windsor win

Written by Press Association | Jun 23, 2025 7:33:32 AM

Now Zarakerjack has a win under his belt, he could be hard to stop in the Carrington Wealth Management Handicap at Windsor on Monday.

Tom Clover's charge took his time to find his feet, finishing out of the frame in his first three outings before making it fourth time lucky at Newbury last month.

Having his first handicap spin from a mark of 63 and upped to 2000m, Zarakerjack easily accounted for Channagide on what was his first turf start.

The handicapper has not missed that performance, hiking him to a perch of 71, but Zarakerjack looks more than capable of defying that rise judged on the ease of his win.

Orionis is another who recently ended a luckless run and can kick on in the River Thames Fillies' Handicap.

She was easily beaten by subsequent Listed scorer Victoria Harbour on her initial run this term, before chasing home Derby runner Al Wasl Storm at Chester.

Sent off a 1-14 chance at Ripon at the start of the month, Orionis made all to win by just short of five lengths in what was admittedly not the stiffest test.

William Haggas' charge has an opening perch of 77, which leaves something to work with.

Silent City can put her previous experience to use in the Download Fitzdares World Of Sport Podcast Restricted Maiden Stakes.

Fourth at Goodwood on her racecourse bow, she deviated from a straight course early on and looked very green throughout when beaten 5.5-lengths.

From the family of Soviet Song, Silent City should surely improve for the outing.

Rogue Dancer should thrive for a return to the all-weather in Wolverhampton's Highbet Football Free Bets Handicap.

She has won two of her four starts on synthetic surfaces, most recently striking gold over the same 1200m she faces here back in April.

Jack Jones then sent her to Doncaster last month and Rogue Dancer could not make the same kind of impact on turf, coming home a 3.5-length fifth.

The handicapper has eased her 1lb for that effort and while she remains 5lb above her last winning mark, her current rating may translate better on her favoured track.

Honour Your Dreams has been running reasonably consistently this term and can keep up the good work in Chepstow's betting.bet Free Bets Handicap. - Press Association
