KEMPTON PARK AW MEETING WEDNESDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2014

A run of the mill evening 8 race appears before us for Wednesday and we've got 3 Maiden contests, a 2yo Nursery, a classified race and 3 handicaps to enjoy. 

Not a big fan of betting on the end of season maidens you will get a lot of false results with big improvements in form as horses begin to tire / mature later as Autumn descends. 

For the purpose of this update we will only look at the Handicaps and try and find ourselves the odd winner amongst them. (unless there is something running in one of the other races that screams out to be supported). 

5.55 Kempton Park 1m 2f
14 line up for this 10f handicap contest, looks wide open with no recent winners in the field I feel an outsider will spring a surprise tonight. 

Hidden Asset has been running recently on Wolves new tapeta surface and is overlooked for that reason, Mercury Music also ran well there a few weeks back and is in good heart but we side with Warbond [9th 16/1] and Claude Greenwood [3rd 20/1] who both trade about 16/1 both up in trip, the former a course winner, the latter didn't like the heavy going at Brighton and will find this much more suitable. 


7.55 Kempton Park 1m
For a horse to have so many 1111s next to his name it's unusual not to see It's Only Business at the head of the market, apparently was reported lame after a recent win over hurdles and it must be taken on trust his well-being tonight, is currently on offer at 33/1. 

NATHR [4th 4/1] should be competitive off this mark which is the same as his maiden win a few weeks ago, Paul Hanagan comes down from Newmarket this afternoon to ride, probably his best chance from his three rides tonight.


8.55 Kempton Park 7f
EXCHEQUER [6th 15/8] is clearly the first to be interested in having a record of 2 wins from 2 starts at Kempton and with a decent 3lb claimer (Cam Hardie) on board is in good form and well deserved favourite in this field.

At longer odds REPETITION [12th 25/1] has been tried in better company than this at York and Chester and might find the drop in grade helps.
