Kempton Park hosts it's first evening meeting of 2016 at the Sunbury venue this Wednesday night on 6th January. The meeting will begin at 16:10 with a 1m 4f Handicap.
Once again we will be covering this regular fixture on Wednesday evenings throughout the year, keeping a running total on our ups and downs but focusing on the Handicap events and a few selected conditions or listed contests too.

16:10 -- 1m 4f Handicap
Our opening contest of the season for this blog is a mile and half handicap where 14 are declared to face the starter.
TAKE NOTE [14th 33/1] and TOAD CORNER [6th 25/1] are the pair I will be following in the win and place markets against the field. It's a very open event and this pair have some excellent jockeys booked which could help.
16:40 -- 1m Handicap (3yo)
The next event has 8 declared but it's the Top Weight AUTUMN BLOSSOM [Last 10/11F] who needs the closest look at. A winner of a Southwell maiden on her only start is forecast an even money fav for this event. I'd have to be a lay of this one purely on the basis of it's lack of experience, is up against colts this time and racing over further. [Very poor effort but first laid fav of the new year successful.]
So hoping to get the fav beat is one thing, what can win is another, WINGED DANCER [WON 5/1] looks a well bred type to go well in this grade and should be able to get close enough to place even if the jolly obliges.
17:10 -- 1m Handicap
Straight forward 1m contest with another 8 ready to line up, very open I would look at the likes of CD winner ALKETIOS [7th 5/1] who popped up at a big price here last summer and has run well over 7f lately so the step back up to the mile ought to help.
18:10 -- 1m 4f Handicap
US NAVY SEAL a winner at Chelmsford and having been placed both there and Lingfield comes here in decent form if you excuse the Unseating on the penultimate start.
ROBINS PEARL has a couple of wins over a shorter trip, could be interesting if staying this far, but at a bigger price ROYAL WARRANTY [7th 9/2] merits plenty of respect and has stayed this far.
18:40 -- 7f Handicap
We will keep this one simple and dive into DUTCH GOLDEN AGE [WON 5/2] a recent winner of a maiden here.

19:10 -- 6f Handicap
The finale is another tricky sprint handicap, BLACKTHORN STICK [8th 5/1] could be interesting at the bottom of the weights and has plenty of experience around here too.
Staked -- 7 points
Returns -- 9.5 points
Single win to a 1pt stake at SP.
Laid Favs - 1/1 so far.
The 2016 season starts with a profitable evenings work, thanks to a couple of winners putting us +2.5 points for opening meeting.
And we also saw the successful lay of the short fav in the 16:40 but will just keep a separate tally of these which may only be now and then.
